About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grow

ABOUT ME

If I were a drink I'd be carbonated water: fizzy, crisp, and zero stain-potential. I moved from New York City to Berlin last year and my favorite color didn't change. Some things stay the same!

PHILOSOPHY

Keep going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The CS community can be awesomely generous and trusting, and I feel lucky to have met so many of its members throughout my travels. I'm very much looking forward to the day when I have a couch of my own to offer, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with a shipbuilder, an air traffic controller, an architect, a computer engineer, an installation artist... each and every one a traveler at heart, and overtly curiosity towards everything.

Interests

Painting, dance, music (listening and creating), fragments, food (eating and preparing), reading, weird coincidences, wild Russian cats, nervousness, cultural exchange

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost getting hit by a car and comparing the what if to the now (this has happened three times)

Teach, Learn, Share

I might be able to teach you to wiggle your ears, but you have to want it badly enough. I'm also exploring the medieval symbolism that interested me as a kid and can go on and on about unicorns. If you have a fiddle laying around, I can share what I've learned in eighteen years of playing it. Oh and I'm pretty good at rolling maki!
