I am a visual communicator. I live a life of continuous creation and I share this with everyone I meet. I love drawing, painting, playing music, meditating, hiking, biking getting tow' up from the flo' up, chilling, meeting new people and sharing life experiences. I want to cook you spicy tacos

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Painting across America!!!
I'm taking a cross-country expedition in order to further my practices in art, meditation and communication. I am relying on making and selling my art to get across the country. I have little money but lots of art and creativity. I am looking to engage with open-hearted people and communities. If you are interested in receiving art, or crazy random mysticism, I will share awesomeness with who ever hosts me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked on an island for a month by myself. There I befriended a pack of deer, was nearly attacked by an alligator in the starlit swamps, found an ancient eagle nest, discovered a grove of hybrid trees and secret bunkers (like the show "Lost"!), found an entire horse skeleton, and had to survive a freezing, week long, rain storm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach, learn and share.
I am an art and art history nerd and can tell you almost anything you want to know about art.
I also study the similarities between Christian and Buddhist philosophies, rituals, practices and methodologies. *Specifically interested in applying the structure of Buddhist meditation practices to better understand what the Holy Spirit is.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share pancakes, art, stickers, stories, books, cool handshakes, jedi mind tricks, dance moves, pants, love and moonshine.

*for real, I have over 2,000 stickers that I want to trade during my journeys!
