CURRENT MISSION

be calm, let life come

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about many things - healthy food, the environment (say no to plastic), composting, bicycling, learning, food rescue, trying to travel justly, natural care and healing.

I am mostly vegan (calmly), and usually have plenty of vegan food to share. I also know a lot about falafel in NYC.

PHILOSOPHY

be calm let life come

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have let many travelers stay on my couch already and try to help people in New York, with whatever they need.

I also met people in South America and India through Couch Surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Ecuador, Brazil, India, and met people all over the world through CS.

Surfed while driving cross country in the US and hosted a few different people this summer!

I hosted travelers when I had my apartment in Manhattan before I was a CS member. I also give pretty good advice about Brooklyn or New York City - especially related to falafel, pizza and vegan food.
