CURRENT MISSION

I love to move and am finally hitting the road after a few year break in Denver, Colorado. I use CS, Workaway.info, friends and seasonal employment to stay active and keep up a pretty fast momentum. I love seeing the world from the POV of a local.

ABOUT ME

Hey there!

My family hails from the more interesting half of New Jersey, where there's big pine forests and a lot of winding rivers. For a change I went to school in DC focussing international affairs, later studied in Chile for a bit, and then finally finished my time in Washington as a first grade teacher. Since then, I've lived in Queens, Brooklyn, and now Philadelphia as I plan my next few adventures.

I have a kooky sense of humor but I seem to get along with most anybody I meet, hopefully you'll agree!

For this summer I'll be working and passing through Colorado in June surfing around Denver, and then flying down to New Orleans . No real plans, just a lot of meandering.

PHILOSOPHY

Meet the world, see it all. Then see where I can go from there.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a longtime surfer, having passed through England, Amsterdam, Spain, and France way back when and more recently through Buenos Aires, Peru, Bolivia and Chile.

Back on the road in 2019 for Southern California, Central and hopefully South America if everything works out!

I'm very active in the arts; painting, sculpting and drawing are big hobbies of mine. I love learning new languages, and am currently working on French!

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Everyone has an incredible story. The best way of surfing, traveling, or just moving through life is by using your ears. I'd love to share what I've seen as well as cook a recipe I picked up along my travels :)
