I'm a Brooklyn based jewelry designer that is in search of inspiration and after this winter, desperately needing to get a breather from city life. I have the sweetest Pit-Boxer named Otis and a husband named Alex.

I'm from Orlando and moved to NYC just shy of 10 years ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning a month long road trip and would love to meet new people and learn about their lives, environment, and day-to-day.

Interests

• yoga
• pottery

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing I'm extremely proud of is completing the NYC Marathon in 2015. I'm not a huge runner and I won acceptance to the marathon from a lottery, so I trained and completed it! Such an amazing, intense, empowering experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done pottery for the majority of my life and I'd love to get some time in a studio on my trip. I'm also pretty knowledgeable about gemstones and soldering/assembling/wax carving jewelry. I'm happy to share any info I have on these topics or to find a place to work on these while I'm traveling. I'm also looking to go to gemstone mines in various states and to mining sites!

I'd love to learn how to wood work, solder on a large scale (larger than jewelry), and so much more!

I've recently learned how to do hand-poke tattoos and will be traveling with my needles. I'm also looking to do yoga and possibly some rock climbing on my trip as well as hiking!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, England, France, Israel, Scotland
