About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Asia

ABOUT ME

New York City is home though I currently live and work in Macau. My curiosity about the world is fed through travels for both work and adventure. I believe life is short so do what you love and love what you do. I've been described as laid-back, open-minded, grounded.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a praxis. Curiosity and the desire to understand and connect is what drives me. To know first hand, for myself. To gain knowledge of self and the world through experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have very dear friends who are members of the community. I have surfed their couches and have offered my couch to friends of theirs.

Interests

From dirty dance floors to sacred sites it all fascinates me. I am inspired by every interaction, am excited by food, am drawn to live performance, visual culture and love navigating through life.
