ABOUT ME

Hi

I'm from nyc and nj and providence, currently living in Brooklyn.

I like traveling to discover things that I didn't know that I didn't know.. also for learning about myself, extracted from familiar stuff to see what's left or really there, gaining clarity, finding new ways of seeing and being or whatever

I know a lot about clay/ceramics and other materials, and I work with some artists to help make their dreams come true.

i think being open minded is important for a good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfed a bunch around the US Mexico and Shanghai. Hosted a bunch while I lived in Providence. Since moving to nyc in hibernation because life hard.
