About Me

Just moved from NYC after ten years. Been traveling all summer and hope to keep riding this wave as long as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just left NYC after living there for ten years. I left my very cozy job in digital (I worked for the US Open - tennis, not golf), and am hell-bent on living a fruitful life that doesn't require me to sit behind a computer for most of my days. When I hiked the PCT in 2016, my greatest takeaway was the goodness of strangers - people who looked out for me out of the goodness of their hearts and continuing to meet incredible people wherever my journey takes me is just the icing on the proverbial cake.

Interests

Hiking, camping, books, traveling, cinema and really looking to get into yoga and cultivating a green thumb!

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh man, too many to count, but let's give it a shot:
Books: One Hundred Years of Solitude, Ulysses (no, really), Midnight's Children, A Little Life, The Luminaries, Union Atlantic, Light in August, The Greenlanders...

Movies: Clue, Fargo, The Silence of the Lambs, Goodfellas, Clueless...

Music: Right now I can't stop listening to all things 'Tame Impala'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I through- hiked the Pacific Crest Trail last year having never camped a day in my life prior! Needless to say, I'm a quick learner!
