About Me

CURRENT MISSION

FInd the art/life/people I love

ABOUT ME

I love really nice moments - a cappuccino and a book, a bottle (or two) of wine with friends, a long walk spent looking at buildings and the way they crumble, or listening to the bits of music that come from other people's windows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm moving from New York City to Ravenna, Italy to study mosaics - would love to meet some of my new neighbors, practice my Italian, practice English, find nice little cafes or bars to go to, or just cook together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had some of my loveliest evenings with other couchsurfers, going out in new cities with the people who know them best!!

Interests

I do web design, but I love old things: books, records, paintings, mosaics, handmade furniture - things built with care and time and passion....
