At 24, I quit my budding PR career in Manhatten to teach English in Thailand - that was the best decision of my life. Since then I've travelled some of SEA, lived in Australia for a year and am currently living and traveling in New Zealand. I'm addicted to this lifestyle and I'm really interested in not just seeing as much of the world as I can but also meeting well-rounded locals and travelers and making memorable experiences with people all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet cool locals or other travelers living abroad, have some good banter and save a bit of money on hostels.. Then later on when I'm back home, exchange the favor :)

Interests

Comedy, food, my precious little niece, scuba diving, cheese and a glass of vino or two or five, margaritas!!!, chocolate, anything adventurous, hockey (specifically the New York Islanders), bagels, nachos and pizza, - dammit I just love food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- A Million Miles in a Thousand Days, The Kite Runner, Hunger Games trilogy :) Movies - anything comedy and I love international films so if you have any favorites I'd love to know!.... What We Do In The Shadows (NZ) and Johnny Stecchino (Italian) are two of my favs! Music - anything from classic rock to country.
