About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share my space and to make good people feel welcome when they are in the Big Apple. To exchange ideas when warranted and to get a glimpse into the lives of people from different places.

ABOUT ME

I'm an artist. I have a large studio that I share with roommates. My couch availability depends on what all my roommates are doing as well. It's a friendly yet very respectful place and I would expect the same from my visitors. It can get a bit cold in the winter but the personalities are the warmest around. I live with a dancer, an inventor, a ER Doctor and an Information Architect (NY Times).

PHILOSOPHY

Transmodernism

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch, baby!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just as many young travelors, when I am in foreign countries I often stay with people. I have slept on couches in France, China, Italy and all over the USA. Not much through this network but I may travel a lot more soon.
