About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See The World Not As Just A Normal Tourist

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (I promise Brooklyn is not scary and nothing like the movies). I love proving stereotypes wrong and going against the grain.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't measure success by the amount of money I have, but by the experiences I hold,the skills I can share and the people I can help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommates and I have been hosting people in our flat in Florence, we absolutely love the people we are meeting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So Yayyyy! I just had my first couch surfing experience. It was in Dublin and it was one of the best traveling decisions I have made. We had the sweetest most hospitable family host us and we couldn't ask for anyone better. I will recommend it to anyone with the personality to handle couch surfing.

Interests

I love to dance! Socialize, learn, and be creative. There is nothing more fun than turning nothing into something amazing. I am pretty easily entertained and love learning funny historical facts about the places I visit. So if you know any please share. I also love chocolate and I have a serious sweet tooth that will be the death of me =P. Oh and last but not least I love the sun. Laying under it and Looking at it just always makes me happy!

Music, Movies, and Books

My music selection is really open minded. You will find tons of interesting songs on my Itunes Hip Hop to Pop, the Beatles, Muse, German Reggae, French Rap, Japanese Pop, Techno and Salsa. I love movies and asking to name a few favorites is like asking a parent to pick a favorite child. It just can't be done. Give me a nice book and I can really escape. I love historical fiction please give me some amazing suggestions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well so far one of the most amazing things I have done is studying a year abroad in Florence Italy. I am currently here now and I can honestly say this experience has changed the way I think and view the world.

River dance in an Irish Pub (I must say like a pro).
Climb the trees of an Italian Palace.
Celebrate Carnival in Italy for two nights no sleep.
Panhandle in London on Piccadilly Circus dancing the Macarena.
Dance in the metro station in Budapest to a homeless man playing the banjo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to exchange language knowledge. Learning new languages are very challenging and rewarding. Also lets just exchange culture experiences and differences. I can also teach you how to sew if you are really interested. I am also always up for a dance lesson.

Countries I’ve Visited

Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Dominica, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Virgin Islands, U.S.
