About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way.
ABOUT ME
Brooklyn born and raised, I grew up believing that this was the greatest city on earth and that I never had to leave. I made the decision to study abroad in Prague against my family's wishes and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Bit by the travel bug, I saw more cities in my 4 months there than I had my entire life. And thus my travel obsession was born.
When I'm not escaping New York I'm taking advantage of the amazing things it has to offer. I've worked for the past 10 years in theater and am an avid lover of the arts and culture in NYC. We have a lot of it here!
I come from a big Italian-American family and we love to eat! Thus I love to cook. Food is a great way to bring people together. Some of my happiest memories have taken place in a kitchen or around a table.
I value my family and friends more than anything and I love making new ones at home and abroad. Make me laugh and we'll be friends for life.
PHILOSOPHY
Try new things. Face your fears.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
There is nothing I love more than showing off my city to visitors. I love to share my passion for art, food, and NYC with anyone who wants it!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am hoping to have my first proper Couchsurfing experience in Iceland! I have slept on many a couch through friends all over the world but am new to this site. I have hosted many friends (and their friends, and their friends of friends) in Brooklyn.
