About Me

I'm an artist from New York City!

Movement is my purpose, magic is my goal - I love to adventure and illuminate and create and wonder. My spirit is very close to that of Peter Pan.

New York is a wild, magnificent playground that I lovingly call my home. I bike everywhere and deeply appreciate the freedom of travel. I always journey with my buddy Gratch, who is a puppet and also a very good guy. You will most certainly meet him if we cross paths. =)

I am teaching myself many musical bits - violin, singing, and harmonica. I am still a beginner in many aspects and would LOVE to learn from anyone who is also a musician! Let's jam, friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelers have a certain type of nobility.

Those who I have met through Couchsurfing share this quality - they are intelligent, curious, unique, creative, and inspired. It is an honor to meet and spend time with incredible, open people from all around the world! I would not be the person who I am, who I love to be, without the experiences I have had through Couchsurfing.

Interests

Harmonizing with everything. Exploring the dreamscape. Experiencing gratitude and compassion towards others. Unlocking cosmic creativity. Singing my emotions. Observing from different perspectives. Finding musicality in all that is.

Taking life seriously
But not too seriously
Because life is seriously funny.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any music that is created with skill and soul.

I love cartoons and anime and scary movies! But if you put on V for Vendetta I will always watch it.

Atlas Shrugged is my favorite novel. Quickly following is the Abarat series and The Alienist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I hitchhiked from Tokyo, all the way north through Hokkaido, then back down to Nagoya, camping and playing violin and making friends all along the way. I LOVE JAPAN. 日本が大好きです!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach clown and mime tricks, or how to make a puppet, or whistling loudly.

I love learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, ideas, philosophies, hypotheses, food, songs, laughter, joy.

Gratch and I are also always happy to do a little performance.
