I want to have a life where I could travel frequently, meet amazing people, and have regular new experiences and adventures. After being a full time musician for most of my 20s, I decided to quit the music industry and try out a job in corporate America. I gave it a good shot (for a little over 2 years) but ultimately, I learned that the 9 to 5 narrative is not for me. For the past few months, I've been working on launching my dating company while simultaneously dabbling in film production and working as the chef in a local restaurant. While I enjoy the work I've been doing in New Jersey, it's time for me to see more of the world as I begin to plan the next phase of my life.
Some of my passions include music, cooking, travel, fitness, cats, pizza, and social dynamics.
I have spent the past few years facing some of my biggest life-long fears and building tremendous character.
Life is a journey and I can't wait to see where it takes me next :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like the right place to link up with people who are of similar mindset and are willing to share their lifestyle, culture, and experiences. I live with a friend in NJ so unfortunately I cannot host as it is not my residence :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to be a complete homebody, afraid of people and the world. I would spend most of my free time in isolation - watching movies, eating chocolate cake, and writing sad songs. I was overweight and didn't feel good about myself; as a result, I'd avoid social situations at all costs and hide from people.
I didn't want to be that way anymore. I wanted to like myself and feel comfortable around people. I wanted to be happy and positive. So, I decided to engage in a year long "social immersion," wherein I constantly forced myself to face my fears and become a social butterfly. I linked up with old friends, signed up for speaking classes, said yes to every invitation I received, and enrolled in as many new classes/community activities I could make time for. In addition to this, I began exercising and dieting; I lost 60 pounds.
It was emotionally tiring and stressful at times, but I grew tremendously. I became a completely new person: someone hungry for personal growth, community, experience, and adventure.
