CURRENT MISSION

To figure out a way to split my time between NYC and the rest of the world!!

ABOUT ME

In Brooklyn, NY is where you will find me riding around on my bike or having some food and wine in a park with some friends, old and new, or right in the front row by the stage at a music show or writing on the board about and colons and semi-colons in my classroom. I like sunshine. I write down my dreams. I am learning how to write better dialogue. I like world maps and yoga mats. I am open and have a big heart.

Come request to be my friend on Facebook, where there are many more pictures of my travels and life in NY.

PHILOSOPHY

To not sit around waiting for the unexpected tumultuous waves of life to finally calm down and become still forever, but instead just learn how to ride and navigate those crazy waves of live better, according to your deepest desire and purpose.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't offer a couch right now (but that will change soon I hope), but I am more than happy to meet new people from around the world and introduce them to my home in NYC.

And I will spread the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this site, but I met some wonderful couchsurfers on a recent trip to Holland, and I have hosted friends of friends who were traveling in NYC.
