Hey there!! Please call me Frankie. I am born and raised in NYC, until I moved to the desert of New Mexico in 2014, and then started full time travel around the U.S. about 3 years ago. I was driving in a van, then my Prius, and until February when I bought myself a motorhome. I love it!! What I spend more in fuel, I save on eating out and hotels.

I earned a degree in Social Psych over a decade ago, which I use mostly informally in my work as a fetish model. I have a huge family and the live all over the United States and I get to visit the older family members and all the new little baby cousins.

I prefer big talk over small talk. I can be a loud party animal... but I can also be a quiet book worm. I love to take pictures and be spontaneous. I truly enjoying seeing how people live all around the world. One day I'll find where I belong.

I usually traveling alone, this trip my boyfriend Gattuso is joining me. He's a musician from Guinea. He's looking for other musicians! We're pretty low key. And always looking to learn!!

Hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Years ago I was totally broke, while giving up the capitalistic life and living off grid in the desert. So any traveling I did was through hitchhiking and couchsurfing! And I met so many amazing people. Now that I've re-entered society and I work as a session wrestler, I have been camping, staying with family and friends and renting hotel rooms and air bnbs.

I must say, I miss the connection I made with people through couchsurfing... so, I am back!! I traveled in many countries through couch surfing. I learned about peoples culture, language, families, food, religion, every day life. I got to see the cities through the perspective of a local. One of the coolest things I have done, that I never would have done without couch surfing, is visiting a Hamam in Morocco.

I am here again to exchange with the locals. Honestly, saving money is great too. But its not necessary anymore... I truly miss the connection. I miss the newness of not knowing who I will meet and what adventures we will get into.

I look forward to meeting you!!
