CURRENT MISSION

To surf my way through New York City

PHILOSOPHY

Good food, good wine, good conversation, and good friends. Add a roof over my head and a warm place to sleep and I'm livin' the life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted two people

Interests

I eat, breathe, and dream about books. I also speak French and some Russian, and love to learn new languages. I prefer hiking and camping to a four star hotel. I love to explore! Traveling, gypsy backpacking, adventures...exploring ideas, new cultures, different world views. I consider myself to be an open-minded gal, friendly and tidy. I love to cook; next to books, food is my passion.
