My partner Shelbyand I are traveling tattoo artists. We just moved out of New Orleans after welding new floors and building a sleeping platform in the back of our Jeep Cherokee. We’re traveling in search of farms to volunteer with and tattoo shops to do short guest spots at. Living out of our comfort zones and hoping to make art, friends, and lasting connections : ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Shelby and I really want to see more of the world and connect with more of fascinating people pursuing their dreams. We hope to do a mix of woofing on farms and couch surfing. Traveling for long stretches can feel isolating at times. We want to feel more connected to people rather than less.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite memories is working for a month at an inn on a small rural island in Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I helped run a community printshop that provided affordable screen printing access and education for anyone interested. I have a passion for sharing and learning about the creation of art in all forms.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Labor, art, home cooked meals, conversation, a sincere desire to make lasting connections.

Countries I’ve Visited

Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, South Korea, Viet Nam
