I am from NY state, but I am currently embarking on a nomadic lifestyle around the world. I love traveling and have to see the world through my own eyes. I love to meet people and form bonds/relationships with them. I love learning languages - I speak French and conversational Spanish, and would like to learn as many as I can. My hobbies include hiking, rock-climbing (indoors mostly), dancing, making art, and writing. I am a freelance photographer, designer and marketing consultant. I am also offering private and small group English lessons online, for those looking for conversational practice. As I travel, I am working on my personal writing projects and other creative endeavors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people around the world, and travel affordably, as I work towards becoming debt free and being freelance/entrepreneurial.
