Hi!

I'm originally from New York, but have lived in Los Angeles since 2006. I consider myself to be an adventurer, outgoing, creative, inquisitive, thrill seeking, well-rounded, kind, honest, reliable, and generally a good person. I love travel and meeting new people. I get along with people from all walks of life. I'm very much into health and wellness. I practice yoga regularly and enjoy hiking. I also love to dance... Why do I feel like I'm filling out a dating profile?

... Also, I think I'm very funny...

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

The best part of travel for me is meeting people and having an exchange of culture. I truly enjoy hearing people's stories, seeing how they live, trying their food, appreciating their art, and embracing our differences and similarities. There's nothing like it. I'm on CS because I see it as vessel to connect with people from all over the world, which allows us to expand our social circles, submerge ourselves in the cultures of the world, and hopefully form long-lasting friendships.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Life is short. Don't hold back. Say what you have to say. Be honest, but fair. Be kind. Smile. Cry. Love. Laugh. Tact is overrated, but it's kind of underrated too. Don't sweat the small stuff. Try not to take anything for granted. Travel :)

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

With hosts, I can share my wonderfully charming sense of humor and my zest for life... I'm outgoing, I'm fun, I'm daring. I make an excellent wing-girl. I'm an adult, which means I pick up after myself and I'm considerate. If you were to open your home to me, I would be the most gracious guest you've ever had! I can't cook, but I'll bring you chocolate ;-)
