I am from the small town of Somerville NJ, I lived, studied and worked in NYC for 10 years until 2011 I moved to Mallorca, Spain to teach English. I am currently residing in Lanzarote, the Canary Islands Spain. I am a photographer, traveler, environmentalist and I love outdoor sports and nature.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING When I can, I look forward to opening my couch to surfers. Until then, I will try my best to be a great guest and share my experiences with others. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Beginner surfer- and I am currently having my first experience in Denmark and Sweden- so stay tuned :)
Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC: I grew up listening to Phil Collins, the Beatles, Huey Lewis and the News, and still enjoy them all (huge Beatles fan, John Lennon especially) I went through a punk rock phase in high school, cutting my hair short and dressing like a boy, listening to Rancid, NOFX, Bouncing Souls, Green Day, Op Ivy, crowd surfing every summer at the Vans Warped Tour in Asbury Park, in college I was listening to Death From Above, The Knife, Radiohead, The Smiths, The Pixies, I went through Dave Grohl/Foo Fighters and Gary Lightbody/Snow Patrol obsessions, and now I continue to listen to the classics, The Clash, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, David Bowie, Elton John, and all of the above. Live music has always been a huge part of my life, a place I can go swoon, sing my heart out, or visualize the day I will be playing in a band too ;) MOVIES: Foreign and independent films, documentaries!!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Working as a videographer with photojournalist Donna Ferrato filming battered women in a shelter in the Hamptons, NY Waterfalls in the Chapada Diamantina, Hot air balloon ride in Kapadokya, Getting my scuba diving certification in El Hierro, Canary Islands and hiking El Teide, Tenerife
Teach, Learn, Share
Lots of people have a little trick or lesson they can teach you, a life "hack" to share, like an easy way to cut a mango. Sometimes it just takes a smile from a stranger to make my day.
