ABOUT ME

I'm a clinical researcher and plant mom living in Brooklyn.
Good friends, travel, food & drink, and music are my favorite things, in that order.
I live to meet new people and believe in trying everything at least twice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that the best part of my travels is often the people that I meet and the memories that we share. Couchsurfing allows this to become a part of every trip that I take!

Interests

I like to stay active, watch a good movie, cook, take photos, practice yoga, attend a concert or show, dance and party with friends, or kick back and listen to music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Jazz, hip hop, soul, rap, trans, and progressive house are my favorites, but I will listen to nearly anything. Lately have been listening to Frank, Sampha, Kamasi Washington, and Radiohead on rotation.

Movies - Tend to gravitate towards drama, or dry comedy, but recently watched The God of Cookery dubbed in English, and loved it - so I'm open.

Books - Constantly evolving in terms of literary taste, but currently reading Devil in the White City, Shel Silverstein's Where The Sidewalk Ends, and The Complete Guide to Fasting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to share my knowledge of English, French, or Spanish, my limited knowledge of photography, my yoga tips and tricks, my bartending skills, and my love for music, art, and delicious food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Memories, stories, smiles, a home-cooked meal, a nice bottle of wine, photograph, book, or at the very least - a thoroughly cleaned home.
