Artist, educator, administrator committed to inclusive access to creative programming and social justice.

Multidisciplinary practitioner, curator of art and archives. Enthusiastic and appreciative of vibrant people and places.

I love offbeat travel, looking for weird roadside attractions and taking the long way. I love the American South East and have lived along the east coast my whole life, in MA, NC, FL, TN, and now SC until my residency is over in July and then, who knows where to next? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make travel more affordable and aid me in meeting people or experiencing things I wouldn't ordinarily.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends! Usually I can get in free to museums and give a pretty damn good art history walk through talk, I make mean cocktails from years behind a bar, and enjoy getting locals to act like tourists in their own towns finding obscure and weird tourist attractions.
I'm quiet, polite, and clean ;) and usually travel with my own bedding if I'm driving.
