I'm a multimedia artist. I draw, paint, write, and compose music with my acoustic guitar. I love being outdoors! I enjoy cycling, hiking, camping, climbing trees, dancing in the rain, and listening closely to the sounds the world has to offer in hopes of inspiration. I recently got married to a wonderful man who will be traveling with me. I'm a baker by trade, and I enjoy doing this even at home. I take special orders for parties, and small events on the side for extra money. I love talking with new people, and going to new places. I was meant to explore and I intend to do so. Hopefully with your help!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like a wonderful down to earth way of traveling, meeting new people and hopefully exposing myself to new experiences

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once took a Greyhound bus from Des Moines, IA all the way to Delaware. This trip took me a day and a half of getting on and off busses. I went to Delaware to meet up with a friend to go to a music festival. We stayed in her refurbished bus the week and a half I was out there. Camping in style! We then drove the bus from Maryland back to Ames, IA where I was living at the time. It was a heck of an experience. I met so many new people, and never in my life have I been stared at more than when I was driving a huge bus down the interstate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a baker by trade, and a pretty darn good cook. I also know how to crochet, and play guitar.

I hope to learn any new trade or way of thinking. I'm a very open individual with a lot of space for learning left in my brain.
