I'm intimidated by "about me" sections, but I'll give it the ol' college try. I grew up in Brooklyn, on a street with big trees and yards, went to college in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and now I've moved back to my home town.

I'm an extroverted introvert and a pretty good listener. I love reading, walking around neighborhoods looking at the architecture, dancing, and hiking. I am curious, helpful, sociable, polite, funny, respectful, and clean.

I always get excited when I see cats, dogs, sunsets, and the moon. I'm usually not awake early enough to catch a sunrise. I'm occasionally a night owl, but not much of a drinker or party-er.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been couchsurfing with my sister using her account and now I'm venturing out on my own. I want to meet locals and fellow travelers. I love finding out about the little hidden gems, quirky details, and histories that people only know when they live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE stories: fiction, t.v. movies. I'll read and watch almost anything. Can't play favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Carried a watermelon up the Great Wall and ate it with my family next to a donkey.

I've auditioned for 2 NBA dance teams and one Broadway musical on a whim. Which would've been pretty amazing if I had made it to the 2nd round of any of them.

I make a mean macaroni and cheese out of a box. And Pecan Pie!
