I am currently in the process of falling in love with myself again- if that makes any sense. I am a die-hard traveler at heart- very interested and curious and ALWAYS HUMBLE. I have long ago accepted the fact that despite all of my travels, I still know nothing! I love people and have devoted my life so far to helping people with complex and severe psychiatric needs, as well as to larger-scale issues of Social Justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an extremely avid foodie and Michelin Star establishment lover! I worked as a Pastry Assistant/Pastry Chef in fine dining restaurants in Boston for almost 5 years. My partner is the long-time Chef de Cuisine at a Provencal French Restaurant in Boston. So naturally, I must travel to experience all of the marvelous treasures of cuisine that the world has to offer! More importantly, I am so refreshed by new, challenging and sometimes uncomfortable experiences of new people and places. I would love to meet you and hear your stories!

I can also show you photos of my rabbit, Benji. He is a mini Holland Lop.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to be an absolute sponge for learning all things food, culture, and music. I absolutely love musical theater and have seen a number of NYC Broadway shows. I love to talk about women's issues and gender. Always looking for thrift shopping spots! I love fashion and make-up.
