About Me

ATTENTION:
I'm currently not hosting visitors, but please feel free to look me up if you’d like someone to show you the best places to hang out in the city.

CURRENT MISSION

Put a mix into it all.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in west, and moved to New York to go to college. I always like a great conversation, and connecting with new people. I would say I am a free spirit, but responsible. In my spare time I surf and hike, go the Moma and paint, and recently I spent some time at a Buddhist meditation retreat (nice!). Most of the time I am with friends running around the city and having fun. I am attracted to Couchsurfing to meet new people and take in the travel energy that I love so much weather I am traveling or talking with a traveler.

PHILOSOPHY

Buddha, Nietzsche, and whatever slogan works. If it moves you towards enlightenment use it.
