A few things to know about me I am new to couch surfing, born and raised in Poughkeepsie New York, and when I am not working at one of my two jobs I love to spend my time traveling, hiking, seeing live music, and having fun with friends. I love trying new things, meeting new people, and helping people out.

Love the life you live, lead the life you love.

Currently I work with elderly and traumatic brain injury patients as a home health care provider. I also work at a Vineyard here in New York doing a little bit of everything. We just started making our own wine this past winter, but for the past 3 years I have helped cater weddings and work on the farm. I DJ a little bit as well for parties with my friends and just for fun.

Some places I have traveled to in the past are Spain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, and Costa Rica.

Spain and Costa Rica being my favorites for sure. There is something about Spanish culture that always leaves me wanting more of it in my life. La musica de la comida y la gente son todas tan hermosas. I speak(hablo) a little(poco) Spanish (Español) but(pero) would love to learn(aprender) to speak better(mejor).

I will be traveling solo for the first time in August and September through Eastern and Western Europe and would love to meet some cool people along the way through Couchsurfing!

Hope to see you soon!

Until then stay well!

Peace, Love & Light :)
