About Me

I've been a nomad for decades and have lived in 5 countries. I recently became an empty nester I've lived an exciting and unconventional life - a tragedy/comedy of sorts. I'm the original millennial! I have so many interests and life for me is an endless discovery.
I am fascinated by the future, future technologies, metaphysics, quantum physics and teleportation. I enjoy cooking all cuisines, dancing, hip-hop and jazz, classical and alternative Brit-pop music. All forms of theater and the arts appeal to me. Digital painting is something I'm fascinated with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am writing my memoir and want to be in a place that is on the land, in the Catskills somewhere, close to the Hudson river. I'd love to find a host who is artistic and creative. S/he lives near or on a farm; somewhere I can take long walks and paint, draw and take notes to get my mind off writing during those times when I need a break. And somewhere that is also close to town where I can get a coffee, sit and people watch and have a beer.
