Hi guys! I'm currently a grad student, social entrepreneur and mom called to move back to the Continent. I've seen as much of the world as I could thus far, but now ready to spend some serious time at Home. Before grad school I was a Computer Scientist turned Network Engineer and then Project Manager living in Brooklyn. I love spiritual study, meditation, music, writing, pottery, anything that is creative expression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met great people on this site who are still my friends to this day. I love the idea of connecting with locals and nomads like myself who are low-stress, who keep it real, and who want to welcome other lightbeings into their orbit and city =)
