CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and making music, and learning different trades.

ABOUT ME
Currently coffee obsessed as far as work goes. I am a coffee educator//trainer//wholesale//marketing

I love to sing the first three words of my response to a normal question. I pretend to play the drums when no one is looking. I make music. I love to cook and have feasts with friends. Feasts are normal meals but with more intensity, and a lot of thankfulness. I loveee bikes. I love to bike. It's my second favorite pastime to music. It's my transportation in this crazy city, and it's awesome. Whether you're surfing with me or living in the area, I can show you some paths and sights that are really breathtaking. I also love surfing, and I think there are spots off long island to catch some waves through the summer. I like switching jobs a lot, to learn more. In the past few years I've been the marketing director for an amusement park, social media publicist for an art house in nyc, i've sold hundreds of jelly candles to tourists, i make music, I wrote a non-fiction book, I wanna write a fiction book next.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy the worst as much as the best. The most memorable moments are in the extremes. When things are awful, I try to remember that later, when my heart isn't racing because I'm stuck on a clay road in the cocaine foothills of Colombia with a machete wielding man and his dog approaching, that I will really enjoy telling that story over and over again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Love to cook, and would cook as both a host and guest. I'm good at telling stories and making folks laugh. I once told the same story about a colonic to the same group of people 2x in one day, both times someone spit liquid from their nose.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up for couch surfing when I decided that in 2 weeks I was gonna backpack in S. America. Not knowing anything about it, (backpacking), I was really lost. But Couch Surfing saved the trip. I met people before my flight ever landed in Ecuador. I had a host in Quito who was amazing, stayed in Lima with a great girl, met friends along the way who live near me and visit now that I'm home. I've never signed up for anything on the internet and had such a real life experience.
