About Me

Studying photography abroad at University of The Arts London from Texas (US) and looking to do some travel throughout the UK and Europe now that the semester’s come to an end. My time in my student accommodation ended June 21 so also looking for hosts in London here and there so I can enjoy the city without worrying about school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't currently host because of said circumstances but I need Couchsurfing for travel because as much as I love exploring, I don't always have enough money to fund my accommodations. I also just love it because I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories. Most of my Couchsurfing experiences earlier on were with a more experienced friend so we used his account and I haven’t couch surfed much since — which is why I only have a few references — but I can't wait for more of my own!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked 80 miles around Lake Tahoe in one day while still healing from an accident that injured my entire body. Began experiencing pain about halfway through, but I was too stubborn to quit so I kept going and made it!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you’re into photography, movies, TV, etc. I’d love to discuss! I’ve been taking film photos for 14 years and have only just recently begun to take it seriously so I love talking about with anyone and everyone :) many moons ago I was an amateur bike mechanic so I can teach you how to fix your brakes but not much else haha. Also I play fortnite religiously so if you like video games and want to check out Fortnite, I got you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook vegan food (I’m no chef but where there’s a will there’s a way) and clean for you, share a few of my hundreds of crazy life stories (I was once almost kidnapped, survived a tsunami and a house fire, did impromptu surgery on a baby seagull, etc.) and listen to yours, give you music suggestions (im a radio host!), impromptu casual photo shoots, etc etc

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Cayman Islands, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Palestine, Poland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
