I draw and paint and eat and travel! I live to make art and invest myself deeply in every adventure, relationship, and country I experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make international connections with other artists and travelers who will show me around their city.
I am looking for new friends and ultimately hope to feel safe with my host, whoever they may be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am open to sharing any experience with my host, be it food, music, art... If there is anything I specifically have to offer as a traveller it would be my drawings. I'm keeping a sketchbook and journal, so everyone kind enough to host me will receive a personalized piece of art... a memory they can keep forever. Otherwise I am open to sharing stories and making new ones with those I meet! Unfortunately I haven’t had a stable residence in a few years to be able host others, but I hope to someday in the future!
