CURRENT MISSION:
To keep moving forward; inside and out.

ABOUT ME:
I am a native New Yorker and currently live in San Francisco.

I left New York City nine years ago and traded it for San Francisco, a city in communion with NATURE;
Landscape lives in the air here.
During this time I also spent two years traveling and living throughout South America.
This became two extremely important and impactful years. You can understand why.

I utilized CS often throughout my travels and am so grateful for how enriching it is to feel the globe through its locals. Now back stateside, I have my own place and can begin giving back to the global community.

I thrive in and am inspired by new people and environments; I am eager to share myself with citizens around the globe and enrich my life + those around me in ways that unfold through direct experience.

I work in a hospital as a critical care nurse, I am a creator of varying degrees, and a fresh-air enthusiast.

I am: accountable, aiming for authenticity, credible, left-handed, creative, colorful, cyclic, positive yet a realist, nurturing and mostly easy going. I am understanding, as insightful as currently abled, PRESENT. I am a lover, I am a teacher, I am patient, supportive, forgiving, and accepting. I enjoy simple pleasures. I am modest, persistent, and at times out of control. I am an active participant of anti-racism work. I smile because I mean it and I laugh out loud because it feels GOOD. I sometimes utilize my full potential, and sometimes I don't. At times I contradict myself and all the time I am human.
I am growing, evolving, and learning.

PHILOSOPHY: THIS MOMENT MATTERS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm dialing back into CS because while stationed here in SF I want to facilitate positive, multi cultural experiences for us kindred spirits out there, both here in San Francisco and in the human, life experience.

I am interested in learning about your culture, music, foods you cook, rituals, spirituality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
So far so great! And even better when clear boundaries with men are set and respected. Read that again.
