About Me

From New York City but I've been living in California for 7 years and currently looking for the place i want to call home. I'm a culinary travel specialist And I also coach other travel advisors in their businesses , but I'm sunsetting my business to focus on my art and mysticism, a big reason why I'm here in the UK right now.

I like to dive deep into conversations about space, history, esoteric things

Love Science and can completely nerd out on almost anything.

Non-smoker, allergic to horses, lover of boundaries and respecting each others spaces ;)

HUMANITY friendly. LGBTQ+, Black and Brown Traveler, Femme friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf, I host, I meet, I educate. I don't just use this site for a free room but I do understand people who do. Sometimes we have little or no money and we all could use a little hospitality in those situations.

I use it to make friends, to meet the world, to learn or discover something only a local would know.

I've had surfers stay with me or just meet for coffee from Italy, Korea, Bangladesh, Japan, and Germany. I have had brilliant experiences with people I have hosted and made great friends, friends that have invited me over to stay with them.

Interests

EVERYTHING! Really! I have ADHD so I find everything fascinating lol. My true passion is design, textile design, weaving, making art, love astronomy and can stare at the stars all night. I'm a big nerd so anything that was to do with museum hopping (cool museums like the museum of natural history, casa batllo, MoMa), I'm really big on cooking and baking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Michio Kaku
The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kid
Only Love Is Real by Dr. Brain Wiess

I love movies. Horror, comedy, sci-fi, or all 3 combined! Give me a good B Horror movie and you have my heart

I listen to music that makes me feel good and that can be anything from Ottis Redding to Hatebreed.
Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, Beirut, Salsa, anything with brass instruments. I love listening to the trumpet and accordions

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit a high paying DREAM job to become a travel agent. Now, closing my business to focus on art... yikes
