ABOUT ME
I'm a singer, song writer and filmmaker based in New York City. I love touring the world with my music and film projects. I love to expand my global community and am deeply curious about art, communication, evolution and collaboration.
I believe art and music can change the world, presenting ideas and utopias for us to step into as a society. The biggest project I've tackled in recent years is completing my first feature film, a comedy called WE ARE THE HARTMANS, starring Richard Chamberlain. My band, The Abracadabra Trip is my current focus and we are releasing an album with John Medeski next year.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I share my space and ideas. I love exchanging stories and wisdom. Community is the most important thing in my life. And there must be laughter. I also love to cook!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So so so many great experiences from Catalonia to Italy to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The best experience was in Santa Fe where I stayed in a huge house with a guest wing! My host was so amazing, full of wild stories of her life, including being a hunter and shooting down giraffes in Africa while maintaining her vegetarianism. I enjoyed her so much I invited my Mom to come stay too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Visiting Dali's hometown and house on the beach in Caracas was incredible! Singing with an international improvisation choir in Graz, Austria was another highlight from this year. I was also a member of Occupy Wall Street... what an incredible movement.
