I live in NYC and love music (jazz, acid jazz, indie rock, funk), good food, exploring new places and meeting new and fun people. I'm a citizen of the planet and try to reduce my footprint and live consciously as much as I can. I love to laugh and am a Laughter Yoga leader! I've had several different careers, including the travel industry, hairstyling/fashion, mental health/housing/psychotherapy and am fascinated by many different things. Currently, I'm very interested in helping people optimize their health through affordable, plant-based whole nutrition and healthy living-also sustainable, vertical gardening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet people. I am also a member of Servas, an international hosting and traveling organization and am dedicated to world peace and human connection. Both organizations are congruent with my values. The best travel experiences are those that are shared with others!!
