About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After living and working in NYC for the past 5 years, I'm starting a new chapter in France in hopes of fulfilling a few dreams.

ABOUT ME

I am marveled by almost anything and curious about others and the world we live in. You'll find me quite an optimistic person, a sense of humor that is all over the place and able to indulge in life's simplicities.

PHILOSOPHY

I like walking into the unknown having those moments that are made purely based on feeling, the present and the trust you have in yourself and in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only surfed, but I love to connect my friends from around the world with other travelers I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lovely experiences so far, I haven't couchsurfed in years but looking into again.

Interests

Trekking, traveling, swimming, photography, dancing, maps, socialist realism, yoga, postcards, libraries, live music, MOVIES, horses, biking, grandma diners, fires, panel housing estates, sun, being creative, autobiographical books, plants and time spent alone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nonfiction, I love reading autobiographies and words about personal experiences and the path that makes one's life. I've gotten into magic realism lately and short fiction by latin american writers.Directors and films are synonymous for me, infatuated with Milos Forman, Krzyzstof Kieslwoski, Pedro Almodovar and Ingmar Bergman.

Teach, Learn, Share
