About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Trial and error, share your gifts, know your limits, push the boundaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel and learn as much as I can. We are all diversely wild & amazing travelers. I live in the vibrant area of Bushwick, Brooklyn. It's industrial and trendy. I love showing people the spots they wont read about in tourist books. I am so thankful for all of the beautiful CS people that I have met along the way. I LOVE CS and love to help travelers when I can. This journey is rad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Open your heart and mind. Say yes to new chances. Even if it doesn't work out how you expect it, it will still be a trip.

Interests

Dancing, street art, yoga, tea, exploring underground places in the city (literally), seeing live music, photography, poetry, Burning Man, swimming in the ocean, telling corny jokes.
