CURRENT MISSION

Loving NYC

ABOUT ME

I love diversity and experiencing different cultures and traditions, meeting new people and sharing their interests and ideas. Communication is a strong point for me, I can keep up with the outgoing extroverted types but also have a special talent for connecting with people who are more shy and encouraging everyone to have fun. I find enjoyment in almost anything and see the potential in everyday activities. I am completely curious and interested in almost everything, reading is my way of life! I am a non-smoker and non-militant vegetarian. I will bring to your couch total enthusiam and complete respect. I am extremely considerate and polite and will continuously work to make the experience the best possible for everyone! I can absolutely adapt to your schedule and preferences and would love to spend time with you or give you the space and quiet that you need! I am EXCITED to meet you and share your city.

PHILOSOPHY

Try as many new things as possible, challenge yourself to do more, give more, experience more and always always broaden your horizon.. wake up!, enjoy everyday, look for the good in everyone, forgive, let go, laugh!! There is humor everywhere.

If you share my faves then we'll automatically have something in common to talk about, if you don't but are passionate about your likes and can tell me why and SHARE them then showing me something new is even better and they'll probably become my likes too.
