Enjoying life in NYC for the past 10 years

I am friendly, easy going, tidy and interested in all different types of people.
Hobbies include cooking (i love eating most everything, but specialize in vegan cooking), regular yoga practice, reading before bed, going out dancing to awesome electronic music.

Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST... =]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have surfed in Munich, Zurich, Tel Aviv! All fantastic experiences.

I've done everything from spending a week living on an abandoned air force base cleaning up after a massive Phish festival (IT, Limestone, Maine) to spending two weeks in Berlin at a friends flat, to camping for 8 days each year at Burning Man. I love people and believe in sharing knowledge about my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

More into shows, recently Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Peaky Blinders, Billions are all great to me.
I like good films and am always looking for recommendations ! =)

Books - I tend towards non-fiction however enjoy anything engaging
Recently finished the Paul McCartney biography Fab and the entire Game of Thrones series - can highly recommend both! Also The Fountainhead is an incredible piece of literature, if a little preachy at times ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled through eastern Europe for 30 days seeing all of where my ancestry came from!

Also i help do a camp at Burning Man every year, this will be my 5th in a row
I'm in charge of making sure our music program and speaker system is running properly. It's a very unique experience and I can highly recommend it / give advice for anyone interested in going !

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked at various startups including the mobile development, advertising, and e-learning spaces.
