About Me

I'm looking to meet new, amazing people doing great things from other countries and other cultures.

I am a political science major having attended City University of New York at Hunter College pursuing my Bachelors Degree as a returning adult to school. I've worked a life in the corporate world in NYC for 10 years polishing my professional skills and business savvy.

I love conversation, trading traveling and other interesting stories if you're up for it. There are so many great things and great people this planet has to offer and I want to know a lot of them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a former guesthouse host from New York City, so I understand the addiction of wanting great and interesting people of the world coming to stay at your home. The stories, the awesome dishes, the interesting points of views and opinions are just nothing that can be paid for. It' s real authentic human beings in cordial connection.

Interests

Some of my hobbies and interests have lead me to teach English near Tokyo, Japan in 2001 and to take a producer and film course in the south of France while at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007.

My passion is traveling and getting to know this world better, creating new memories and awesome experiences!

-I love cooking, running, yoga, writing and just laughing and enjoying friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like tons of different music. It's whatever moves me.
-Chill, Deep House
-Bossa Nova
-R&B
-Opera and many other genres.
I'm a total Akira Kurosawa film buff. I like old classic film from all around the world but will still sit down to anything modern as well. Still haven't seen anything better than Inception in recent years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been hot-air ballooning in California.
I've gone skydiving recently!

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English in Japan and loved-loved-loved it!

-I am a tidy and considerate, trustworthy guest who's also a non-smoker.
