About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making art work, learning new languages, dancing, biking, cooking good meals with friends, meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

artist and writer from Brooklyn, NY, ex music publicist...music is still extremely important to me, I used to play in bands and tour, now I play with a group of people when I can and record and make experimental sound pieces, and video and sound installations. I love to sculpt, paint, draw, write, take photos, and generally art nerd out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm sure I can host anyone in NYC when I am home who wants to enjoy a really alternative night in the city's art and music scene.

Someone who likes underground parties, art exhibitions, movies, and music will be really welcome!

I'm never going to ask for someone's couch just to save money/find a free place to stay. I just want to get to know new places through locals, to really experience culture firsthand...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hopefully I can still find some great souls out there!
