I've just returned to the Ithaca area after three years in Alaska. In October I purged a lot of my belongings and packed up my jeep. I drove from Alaska to Southern Oregon where I stayed for about a month and a half, and then drove from Oregon to my family's house in Syracuse. I have a degree in art and anthropology from Ithaca College, and have been using both degrees through my travels and jewelry design endeavor. I'm hoping to be at FLSM beginning in January, and am working on fitting all the puzzle pieces together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to be at FLSM beginning January 22nd, 2018 and am searching for reasonable rent, but until then have an hour commute from Syracuse, and would be eternally grateful to any folks you could help lighten the commute!

In College my roommates and I hosted a few groups of couch surfers and it was so fun to welcome travelers into our tiny apartment and share stories and experiences. I've yet to couch surf myself. I'm interested in it because I think it provides a space for human connection that can make travel that much more fulfilling.

Interests

Art. pen & ink, welding, wood work, metal casting

Music. I'm in a long term, very serious relationship with Pandora. Sorry Spotify. UPDATE: Gave spotify a chance... Pandora wasn't into an open relationship, so I left.

Adventure of any size or scale.

Cooking, not baking. Anything but that.

Animals. Cats/dogs are cool. But I like reptiles and amphibians.
