I moved to NYC from San Francisco, where I took that picture with my old friend Yoda. :)

My place is technically in Queens, but everything is connected by subway trains, so you can get around very easily. I am one stop across from midtown manhattan. But you can also easily get to Astoria, Queens, and Brooklyn from here.

I currently work long hours as a nurse, so scheduling can be kind of tricky because it changes from week to week, and I sometimes just need to rest. I am usually in bed by 11 or 12.

ABOUT ME

I was the founder of the original nonprofit, City Dog Share (like a Couchsurfing for dogs!). It is still active in some locales but is mostly just a hobby for me now. I went back to school and became a nurse. I have been in New York for a few years now.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to lead a more conscious, compassionate life. Doing unto others.. that sort of thing. ❤

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because I believe in the Mission. And it is a good way to meet people too!

Centres d'intérêt

I work a lot (as a nurse), so keeping things light and silly is always a good start for me.

• breakfast
• vegetarian
• vegan
• traveling
• basketball
• soccer
• kitesurfing
• burning man

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Cartoons are cool. Sci-fi and documentaries too!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Helped build the Temple of Flux for six months in 2010 for Burning Man. It was amazing.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I accept used clothes donations for my guest bin! If you have a well loved item that is still cool, but that you don't wear any more or are looking to get rid of, you can donate it to my guest bin when you visit. Other guests can dig through the bin to borrow items when they visit.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I just moved into a nice 1-bedroom in New York City. Well, I'm in Queens technically. But my apartment is pretty well situated - right at the crux between Midtown Manhattan, Astoria, Queens, and Brooklyn. It is very easy to get to from LaGuardia and JFK airports, and Penn Station too.

Mi casa su casa, you know. But I am vegetarian (mostly vegan), so please, no meats in the house. Namaste.
