Hello,

I'm an authentic and personable writer who enjoys connecting with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that Couchsurfing is a good way to meet new people and get the inside scoop on where to go in the new places that I'll be visiting....the non-touristy stuff that only the locals know :)

It will also be nice to host people and provide the inside scoop on NYC.

Books.....anything by Alexandre Dumas....David Sedaris...Bill Bryson....and lots of nonfiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a multi-pitch rock climb up a vertical rock face after experiencing a mild panic attack ("what am I doing up here?") in the first hundred feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a writer with extensive life experience who enjoys connecting with people. I practice yoga, play basketball and I'm willing to try virtually any sport or activity. I sing in the shower--some songs well and others not so much. I'm good with computers and editing film and music. I'm an open book and a good communicator.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a warm and engaging person who connects well with people. Also, I can offer assistance with any of the skill sets listed in the "Teach, Learn, Share" section.....except for the singing part...you may want to get a professional for singing lessons :)
