I'm a circus artist and wordsmith from the U.S. with European citizenship who has traveled throughout most of Europe, as well as parts of Asia and Australia. I'm currently traveling long-term as I continue training aerial rope, handstands, hula hoops, and juggling, while working remotely as a freelancer in copy editing, proofreading, and translation. I'm vegan, so I love and respect all beings, especially the furry ones! ^.^ And I'm super into vegan food, including cooking, so I often eschew alcohol in favor of 420 and baked goods lol. I'm highly organized, clean, and considerate, and also somewhat of a homebody. Aside from circus, food, and animals, some of my passions are music, art, nature, adventures, and puzzles/games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling through Europe, on month 8 of a journey around the world. As such, and as an artist, I'm in need of budget accommodations. I also prefer to make new friends/expand my network of friends in the cities I travel to!

Interests

I'm into being creative and weird, so basically things that fall into that category. Or nature/outdoor/adventure activities. I don't drink as a leisure activity, though I'll occasionally have a glass of Merlot.
