Overview
About Me
I'm an aspiring art historian/curator who lives in New Orleans but is from the NJ/NYC area. Currently in school for Latin American Studies w/ a focus on art.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In August 2013, I met up with a paulistano during a research trip in São Paulo, Brazil and he let me stay on his couch for two weeks. We didn't meet through this website, but I would still consider it a couchsurfing experience with a stranger who very quickly became a great friend!
