CURRENT MISSION

Being in the present

ABOUT ME

I am originally from California, went to university in Oregon and then lived in Argentina for about three years. I moved to Brooklyn in August of 2010 and just recently finished my masters in education. I like to take really really long walks to explore new neighborhoods. I also like to ride my bike, read at parks, ask questions and hear good stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and been hosted by wonderful people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the time I have been part of the CS community I have met many great people and made a few very close friends. I also love that I have been able to reciprocate and host people after surfing with them :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Earlier this year I traveled to India with my family - my parents had lived there for many years 30 years ago and it was their first time returning. It was an amazing experience meeting their old friends and seeing the country for the first time.
