CURRENT MISSION

To Satisfy My Wanderlust, One Adventure at a Time

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer, blogger, photographer, model, art director and as of last month- a music video director!

I consider myself a renaissance woman, a goofball and a gypsy (moved around a ton as a child). I've been living in New York City for a year and a half and I have this unquenchable thirst for adventure. I travel as much as my schedule/wallet allows but I fantasize about doing something drastic.

I want to travel the world for 12 months- a dream that i'm hoping to start January 1st, 2014. Fingers crossed!

PHILOSOPHY

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
- Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very excited to meet new people from different cultures, backgrounds, etc. I'm always up for showing someone around New York whether it be coffee/brunch/lunch/dinner/drinks, touristy stuff, showing my NYC staples (flea markets, bakeries), museums, parks, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

* Hosted 'hitchhiker42' in Bangkok, Thailand in December 2011 while visiting.

More to come hopefully!
