Hi!

I grew up in a family of artists in New York City, NY, so I appreciate all things beautiful, eclectic, or odd as forms of art. I like to travel and practice my French and Spanish when I can. I have family all over the world, so I try to bring warmth and friendliness everywhere I go because you never know when you'll meet another cousin or a friend!

I enjoy talking about cultures, films, music, ecology, naturopathy, and societies, sharing stories and learning about other people's experiences. I specialized in Visual Communication in college.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, and Couchsurfing allows for a cultural exchange you can't find anywhere else. Hospitality is an important aspect of making anyone feel comfortable anywhere in the world, and I find that Couchsurfing brings people together to learn more about one another's culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked on an organic lavender farm for a summer, and I learned so much about healing and cooking with lavender!

I went sky-diving with my mom to celebrate my high school graduation.

I took a road trip across the USA with my girlfriend last summer! I enjoyed seeing the scenery, visiting large cities, and meeting cool people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French and some vegetarian cooking. If you have any interest in talking about homeopathic remedies, I can talk about that forever.
I would love to talk about your favorite pieces of art.

I can understand Spanish pretty well, but as with all new languages, speaking it back is always the hardest part, so I look forward to practicing if ever possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my road trip across the USA, my cooking talents, movie, music, and book recommendations, and French lessons if you want! I can play a few songs on guitar.
