Born on the warm beaches of Siesta Key and raised between two tall pines on the cold coast of Maine, my life has been both wonderful and unusual. I come from a loving and warm family. My father is a cartoonist (johnrileycartoons.com if you want to check him out!) with an awesome creative spirit. Actually, everyone in my family possesses an incredible creative spirit. All of them are artists! I love art and warm people. I enjoy the smell of a home cooked meal. I've lived in the jungle!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been around the block a few times but I want to explore the other blocks. Maine is a beautifully boring place. I had a wonderful childhood but now it's time to go out into the world and see, smell, feel, touch and experience what it has to offer :)
