ABOUT ME
Hello! I am a musician and illustrator living in California, originally from New York. I love to learn about new cultures, to spend time outside, to practice Aikido and meditate, and to cook real food from the market. I am delighted to be here in Brazil, drawing and learning music.

PHILOSOPHY: I spend alot of time thinking about

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm delighted by the vision of couch surfing and my experiences with it in Peru: instead of paying for a lonely hotel room, we can choose community, shared meals, new conversations and ideas! Of course.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a wonderful experience couchsurfing in Peru, where I stayed with a French/Peruvian juggler and his grandmother. Shared everything from sweeping the floor to an inpromtu introduction to the Peruvian hospital system! This family fed me vegetable broth until I could walk again, into the peruvian mountains!
