CURRENT MISSION

To end each day with more smiles than frowns

ABOUT ME
I am NOT in New York City right now. I am on a working sabbatical in South Korea. I will be away until October.

My friends love me for who I am (a bit insane with a big heart and a fearless sense of adventure). I've traveled to 60 countries and can't get enough of the world and its many cultures.

PHILOSOPHY
Butterfiles are proof that reinventing oneself is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted over a hundred people through Airbnb, and a half dozen through Couchsurfing. I think this is an excellent way to meet new people and have better adventures while traveling. I have also stayed with people through those websites, and am so grateful to everyone for their hospitality.

Interests

Reading, watching tv (currently hooked on Korean dramas—aigoo!), exploring, drinking a well-made cocktail, eating a perfectly-prepared meal
