Hi! I've been living in Brooklyn for 8 years, working as an artist and trying to find meaning in the daily struggle. I'm laid back and always down for adventures. I love all of the delicious things in life- films, the outdoors, music, food, dancing, etc. I'm kind and open-hearted and I'll always respect your space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am all about honesty and openness with oneself and with others. I think this community stands for that, and lends itself to great experiences with otherwise total strangers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to New York when I was three days into 17 to pursue what I love, and I haven't looked back since.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak french, so I guess I can teach you some choice phrases. I love laughing with people about the absurdity of life. Everyone has something beautiful to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to take you to dinner or a drink or make you a meal, there is nothing I love more than good conversation!
