I used my real name for verification purposes, but since I was a toddler I have always gone by my nickname - Mookie

I enjoy nightlife and gabbing with people over wine. I like attending drag, burlesque and any type of show that is vaudeville adjacent. I'm often more interested in seeing performances or talking to people than I am to see artifacts or wonders of nature. Though I occasionally enjoy those as well!

Every since I was a child and still to this day I'm a nerd - Magic The Gathering, Musicals, Dungeon and Dragons, Table Top Gaming, Board Games, Pokemon, Doctor Who, Star Trek, The Muppets, Dance Dance Revolution, Video Games (JRPG, Strategy, Hero Shooter, Classic Arcade)

I like seeing plays ( though I imagine, not being fluent anything other than English may make that difficult)

I like to do long slow runs, challenging hikes, calisthenics and lift weights.

I create and enjoy cocktails and have worked at some bougie places in NYC - but these days I prefer wine.

My undergrad degree was in Anthropology.

I shoot a pretty decent game of pool.

If anyone does tattoos, carpentry, or wall plastering/painting, I would be open to a very long stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent most of my life either having no money but time, or money, but not time. Usually the former. However I do believe that by the end of year the stars will have aligned I will be able to start traveling. In the meanwhile, I've taken up to hosting in NYC.
