"Fall in love with yourself"

I live in Brooklyn, NY where I work as a writer.

Originally from Los Angeles I've spent the last few years living in Palestine, Egypt, and Japan! I crave new experiences and different ways of interacting with the world. I am always excited for adventure--relevant to wherever it is I just happen to be. I adore language, shopping, anything sweet, hot beverages, and the occasional friendly stranger.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to help folks out the way I’ve been helped in the past :) I plan to do some traveling around the US in the coming months for a few concerts and would be much happier to stay with other people rather than in a hostel.

I absolutely adore chatting in cafes, grabbing drinks in small pubs, and seeing what the world has to offer. Tell me a story I haven't heard before if you have the time. In my mind, traveling is about knowing something you didn't the day before. So let's discover together <3
