I'm an aspiring artist and soon to be student at Mills College. I currently live in a quaint beach town called Santa Cruz, California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and share music, cooking, stories, philosophy, and understand new persepectives and ways of life. I want to see the world and learn about a new place from someone who knows it rather than just as a tourist. I also haven’t had great experiences on workaway so far because there’s a weird power dynamic that come along with it (in my experience), I don’t mind the work but in this situation can be unfair/ I’d much rather spend time with people who holds the same sentiments for hosting as I do for traveling!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give tips and techniques on drawing and many art related things. I can also teach some classical dance/ stretching/ pseudo yoga as I did dance and gymnastics for many years when I was younger. I can also help you improve your English!

I’d love to learn whatever you have to teach me! I’m really interested in psychology, sociology, history, language practice, philosophy, and so much more. I really just want to hear from new people about there experience in the world, to soak up all the knowledge I can and help to make the world a better place!

We can share our conversations, cooking/ meals, exploration, and new experiences (our lives)!!
