About Me

I am a creative work in progress - I have no way of really describing myself, except that I have always been on a trajectory toward more knowledge and learning . I am a curious cat : )

I love to travel mainly to experience another culture as deeply as I can. So I would rather sit in one cafe and people watch /listen for hours, than spend a day in a museum. I do love museums, but people are a bit less predicactable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, and meeting new homes. I studied Interior Architecture in Grad school - so places are just as important to me as people : )

Interests

Every year I decide to start learning a new thing or two. This year it is Sailing and Improv Comedy. Last year it was Accordion and Rock-climbing. The way I see it, if you aren't growing and learning in life, you are stagnating or dying : (

I am either off or on socially - sometimes a total extrovert and happy to do group activities like salsa dancing, and sometimes I feel very introverted and want to spend hours with my nose in a book, or writing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I pretty much like most music except most country and western, Death Metal & Raunchy Rap. I have a particular passion for Tango, Flamenco, and Salsa music - since I have danced all these dance forms.

Movies - Blues Brothers; Amelie; The Martian; Fight Club; Memento (Studied Film-making in college - so I can find SOMETHING to appreciate or fixate upon in almost any film)

Books - I am a self-help book junkie ... just love to tinker around with my consciousness or unconsciousness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked for 3 years as a cab driver in New York City - One of the few female cabbies.
