ABOUT ME

I love meeting new and interesting people, gaining new perspectives and expanding my view of the world. I'm vegan, and Buddhist (I try to walk a path of least excess).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I live in a tiny apartment with a roommate and an equally tiny couch (not big enough for a human to lay down on), but one day when I get a bigger place I'd love to be a host. <3

Interests

Being around the arts community. Seeing plays, going to shows. When I have time for myself I practice yoga and meditation. I love to read, I love music, and I really love art.
