Hi! My name is Bridget! Im currently living in NYC where I am a sailor. I sail off of Chelsea Piers 4 times a day! Before this I was sailmaker and I mostly sew and repair sails for cruising and racing sailboats as well as schooners. Before that I built wooden boats (yes people still do this!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im about to take off in October for a 3 month adventure in Europe! Home base will be in Holland. I want to meet new friends while Im there! Locals always know whats best!

Interests

Im a very creative, artistic person. You will rarely find me with out a sketchbook or journal. I also have my nose in a book constantly! I love most genres and run a book blog. I love working with my hands. I am also a great cook!
