About Me

Hello.! I was working in fashion in NYC as a freelance makeup artist...then I had a spiritual blowout, sold all my things and am roaming the world as a happy, heart-opened Nomad. If you're a Burner, Radical Faerie, Traveler, or any other type of heart-centered being, I'd like to know you, and hear your story.

If you can host, I'll treat you like royalty and keep you in my prayers at night ;)

If you're a fellow traveler, let's plan an adventure, daytrip, or night outing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I've been unofficially couch-surfing for about a decade until I just found this app! I'm on couch-surfing because couch-surfers are my favorite kind of people - and are creating the kind of world I want to live in!

My favorite thing about living in NYC is showing people my city - the hidden gems, the weirdest parties, and ensuring my visitors have the most unique, once in a lifetime experience in my beloved city. I've curated over 20 trips for friends, and friends of friends, and now I'm excited to have found Couch-surfing where I can help travelers from all over the world experience New York like a seasoned New Yorker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped up in the remote mountains of New Mexico for two months this summer. 60 glorious cell free days!! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

So ladies...(and perhaps gentlemen.) I was an artistry trainer at MAC cosmetics, it would be a blast to sit down with you and all your makeup and teach you how to ace your makeup like a pro - or give you a makeover!

I was also an 'unofficial' personal trainer at one point (and a helluva lot more fit too!) so I have tons and tons of training, nutrition, and diet knowledge - and can gab about it all day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can practice English / Spanish / Portuguese - I'm also a killer masseuse, and if you allow me to stay for more than 3 nights, I'll put my skills as an ex-housecleaner to work on your common area, kitchen, and bathroom ;). I'd also be game to plan some adventures together, or just as happy to do my thing while you go about your life.
