I'm 29 y o that love exploring and traveling. I have spent most of my life growing up in Queens, NY. I absolute love the diverse culture as well as the hustle and bustle of it all. I am ready to explore the rest of the world and immense myself in different cultures and environments. I have spent the last few years, traveling around the States and hiking more than 2 dozen National & State Parks. I absolutely love the challenges of hiking endlessly and the stunning views.

Ive spent the past 10 years working in law, management, and media. I spent more hours than needed in the office behind a computer screen which lead to the realization that I needed to step away and really enjoy life. I took the step in Sept 2016 to go backpacking around the world. At the beginning, I was exhausted and didn't know how I would continue on for another 6 months. Now that I'm more 6 months in, I'm truly enjoying the backpacker life and meeting new people. It has been a wonderful journey thus far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am backpacking for almost 2 years and enjoy traveling like a local. The opportunity to stay with a local is something you can definitely not get from staying in a hostel. I have heard great things about couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all different genre of music, it really depends on my mood what I catch myself listening to. I love 90s hip hop and r&b, indie rock & pop, electronic music, electronic dance music, house, indie folk, and am open to other genres.

I love watching documentaries, adventure, comedy, fiction, action and sci-fi movies. The only thing I truly do not enjoy watching is horror and scary movies. I'm a big baby when it comes to that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent 3 weeks roadtrippping through Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Cali and visited a dozen parks. I drove through 3,300+ miles and hiked over 100+ miles. It was an amazing trip that pushed me mentally and physically. The landscape of each state was so beautiful and stunning.
