I just moved to NYC from California so excuse me if I seem a little starry-eyed. I didn't move to start a new life but I am extremely open to new opportunities and meeting and learning from anyone that will speak to me.

I was able to move with some security with my job in retail management but I'm here to pursue a degree in fashion design at FIT.

My priorities in life include travel, pushing my physical limits, and achieving success in my career while still being at peace with myself. My dream is to own synthetic line for urban and professional bikers. I want to be able to interact with them on a daily basis, taking their feedback, going on daily rides, participating in my local community.

Most importantly, I know the Big Apple is going to provide me a big piece of cake and sometimes a big pile of shit from time to time, but that's life and I'm prepared for the challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet open people who are either like-minded, or even better, people who will challenge my beliefs.

I believe the best way to live and to know a city is by its people. I'm very excited to meet new friends while I am looking for my own apartment.
