CURRENT MISSION

To move and inspire the world through my performance and my brand, The People's Republics.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Rome, Italy and moved to the U.S. with my mother (an Oregon native) when I was 6 years old. I grew up in Marblehead Massachusetts where I graduated high school in 1994. I attended Alfred University in upstate New York where I focused on ceramic art from '94-'98. After graduating college I moved to Portland, OR and have been here ever since. This is my home. I'm an artist/performer/activist/entrepreneur. I've been dancing with Marchfourth Marching Band for the last seven years and have been running my company, The People's Republics, for the last 4. I'm a friendly, outgoing, driven, considerate girl who loves performing, making art, traveling, cooking with friends, taking long walks, bicycling, eating fresh, organic foods, meeting new people, rallying toward real change and making a statement!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we will be fine if we just take care of eachother and planet earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
