Originally from Ohio but I've lived in New York City for over 20 years. In that time I've lived many lives. I love to travel and meet new people. If you happen to make it my city say hi. I'm always looking for new adventures so feel free to invite me along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel as though it's a more authentic way to see the world. You make a personal connection and get a better sense of the place you're staying. After years of traveling I want to try my hand at a set of new adventures.

Interests

I'm a huge fan of museums, and other creative endeavors such as dancing, cooking, music concerts, and visiting beaches. I love to share these experiences with others so the more the merrier.
