I just graduated college with a focus on studio arts, specifically printmaking and metalsmithing. I love to play guitar, read, and work on art projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took my final class in Italy this summer and I'm spending the rest of the time my visa allows traveling on a very tight budget. I want to meet locals and have an authentic European experience. I'd like to move to Europe eventually, and want to see as many places as I can, before I leave.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to hike Mount Vesuvius from the base to the crater, 16.5 km, through a beautiful winding trail.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning anything! I'm fascinated with ancient history and art. I can teach basic printmaking techniques- if you have a potato and some paint, we can make a print together! I can teach you some songs and Im a pretty good conversationalist.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a great cook and would be happy to share my love of cooking. As I mentioned before, I can teach you some fun art techniques. I'm looking to share some laughter and stories, and hear from others.
