About Me

Living in New York City with my husband in a tiny New York East Village Apartment. I love everything about my home in NYC, especially that it connects me to people from around the world.

With family in California and Sydney I travel a lot! My new business also has be on the road during winter months. Racysuits is a ski suit company based on the down hill ski racing suits worn by my grandfather in the 1980s. Super fun, the project is about a year old.

When I am not working on my business, I'm in my garden, meeting friends for happy hr in the East Village or hosting roof top dinners. OR you can find me on the world wide web researching my next trip and purchasing my next international flight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister Bronwyn is a seasoned couchsurfer with a long list of amazing travels and new friends.

I am meeting her in Italy for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday and she promised to introduce me to couchsurfing first hand.

Interests

While traveling with a packed schedule can introduce you to more things, I personally enjoy leisure rambling walks outside the travel book trail map. Sitting at the restaurant with no visitors, hiking the hill with no path, being the first to hit the dance floor when no one is dancing.

Waiting in lines is not my thing.
