I have always wished to travel but have had few chances in my life to do so. I am passionate about creating art and teaching. I currently teach at a high school in CT, USA love my students and hope to inspire them to open their minds and hearts to new experiences. My artwork ranges from oil paintings to mask making to stained glass and jewelry, I love it all. I have a particular interest in street art and would love to see it wherever I go. I also love visiting art museums and enjoy live music and dancing. I grew up in New York City and was exposed to many cultures there and am open to learning even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I want to have amazing experiences in my life. I recently met a woman from Mexico who has couchsurfed and her experiences have been very positive so I have been inspired to try it. Overall I'd say that I want to couchsurf because the better we people of earth know each other, the better we understand each other which can only make our world a better place.
