About Me

CURRENT MISSION: To eat everything I see!

I love life, I love people, I love to eat! I believe there are no accidents in life. I embrace the good and the bad. I'm currently living in San Francisco, CA but I'm a proud born and bred New Yorker! I exist here on earth and I am using my time wisely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf, I host, I meet, I educate. I don't just use this site for a free room but I do understand people who do. Sometimes we have little or no money and we all could use a little hospitality in those situations.

I use it to make friends, to meet the world, to learn or discover something only a local would know.

I've had surfers stay with me or just meet for coffee from Italy, Korea, Bangladesh, Japan, and Germany. I have had brilliant experiences with people I have hosted and made great friends, friends that have invited me over to stay with them.

Interests

EVERYTHING! Really! I'm slightly A.D.D. so I find everything fascinating. My true passion is design, textile design, graphic, poster, package, all of it! I'm a big nerd so anything that was to do with museum hopping (cool museums like the museum of natural history, casa batllo, MoMa), I'm really big on cooking and baking. I am very passionate about eating!

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really a reader. I do like my nerdy science books. Anything by Michio Kaku, Bashar: Blueprint for Change, The Cheese Monkeys, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

I love movies! Horror, comedy, sci-fi, or all 3 combined!

I listen to everything, literally! Louise Armstrong, Ottis Redding, Perfect Circle, Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, MIA, Beirut, Salsa, anything with brass instruments. I love listening to the trumpet! and almost anything with an accordion :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Packed my bag and left my house
2. Quit a high paying DREAM job that anyone would give their first born for to become a travel agent.... no regrets.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Just trust that everything will/is going your way.

Learn: I'd like to know how hitchhiking around the world.

Share: Don't wear the gold chain your grandmother gave you in Kuala Lumpur.
