Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but beyond just seeing new places and doing touristy stuff, I want to get to know the local people, places, and culture. When I am abroad, I feel as though I am at home - being open, embracing the unknown and taking risks, meeting amazing individuals, and making unforgettable memories.

Being a New Yorker, my tiny studio is unfortunately way too small to harbor another living being (ok seriously even my succulents and cacti die), but I am happy to grab tea at a tea parlor in the Village, go to a pop-up party or art gallery, learn how to properly pour espresso at Toby's, or randomly stumble upon an Argentinian book release in SoHo...basically sharing the city with those who want to experience it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitching a ride in a van belonging to a bassist for a Spanish death metal band, driving 3 hours to a beach town to cross the border so we could befriend street kids in Morocco...oh and I got my henna done at a friend of a museum worker's house.
