CURRENT MISSION

Create & experience!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Sacramento, California I grew up with my hands on books, my toes in the San Francisco bay, and my heart craving newness and unfamiliarity. At 18 I scrambled across the country as fast as I could to NYC.

I studied at The New School. I love poetry, pianos, and guitars. Music is at the center of almost every decision I make. It leads my travels and probably always will.

You could say I have a voracious appetite for exposure to new things, new culture, and new people. It's that anxious urge to never be idle that brought me to couchsurfing, and I feel so lucky to have experienced as much as I have with this organization.

I am not ready to settle!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."
— Franz Kafka

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly surf, but I've hosted and been to CS group meetings before, as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only been a wonderful experience.

Interests

In New York I've immersed myself in the worlds of visual art, literature, and most importantly music. Part of what draws me here is the history and culture surrounding it.

I'm an arty geek and a sentimentalist. What interests me in new places are the stories behind them.

Teach, Learn, Share
