I left NYC on December 31st of last year, after living there for seven years. I absolutely love it, but I want explore a bit more before I settle. So, I sold everything and traveled the States to visit family and friends for nine months. In September, I headed overseas for an extended RTW trip (have some advice? I'd love to hear it!)

I'm looking to grow in health and happiness. I try to eat well (but I do make room for certain delicious exceptions), and I do yoga and run almost daily. I'm also looking to expand my Krav Maga practice, which I just started before leaving the States.

Important: If you're looking for someone to party with, I'm NOT your gal. I don't drink and the chances I'll go out after 10pm are very slim. It's just not my jam. It's difficult to run in the morning if I was out too late the night before.

Non-smoker. Love the animals. Improving my photography skills. Making time to write and relax.

I'm chill. Creative. Bit of an introvert. Love live music and hoping to up my pool/billiards game. Up for it?

I won't treat you like a hotel, but I don't expect to be entertained. If you're busy, no problem! I am perfectly capable of making my way. If you'd like to show me around a bit, that would be wonderful. I love experiencing places with someone who lives them everyday. Show me your favorites!

I'm clean and organized. I will be very respectful of your home. Any questions? Please ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way to truly experience a city or culture than by staying with a local. Plus, it's just an amazing way to meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited the Galapagos Islands in November 2014. Paradise! And I sold everything in late 2015 to travel. I'm homeless and unemployed and loving it!
