“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J. R. R. Tolkien

ABOUT ME

I am the sum of the interesting parts of my mother and the odd parts of my father :>

I was born and raised in New York.
My Grandparents and their ancestors were not afraid to pick up and create a new life for their families. It inspires me to put on my travelling shoes. My family is a diverse mix of Jamaican, Indian, Gaelic, German, Brazilian, Jewish, West African
This early exposure to many cultures has helped make me who I am thus the world is way too wide for me not to explore it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Luckily have lots of friends and family who live abroad and travel often.

I love the idea that this site will allow me to broaden my scope of friends and allow me to give a little of myself back to those I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to count. I love a good book, I agree with cult films.
My music tastes are ever evolving - but I'm addicted to sounds that evoke emotion.
