CURRENT MISSION

To help people with speech, language, and hearing disorders

ABOUT ME

I am a warm and open person who randomly bursts into song.
Chocolate is best eaten dark!
My favorite jazz artist is Michael Buble and singing is one of my many passions.
I love running by morning and salsa dancing by night.
I studied speech and language disorders because I am fascinated by them.
I would rather be outdoors than in.
I am Sicilian, Dutch, German, and Ukranian by hertiage and am excited to learn something new from other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currenty only a CS surfer, but would like to host one day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I surfed was in September 2009 in Amsterdam. My host took my boyfriend and I to a local park where we shared beer, olives, and spicy peanuts. Later we borrowed his bikes and toured the beautiful city, met up for dinner, shared some wine and gave our host a private concert with my boyfriend on guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It took me under 3 hours to climb to the top of Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park with my brother, sister, and friend 4 years ago. The trek was exhausting, but the worth the trip because the views were incredible!
