CURRENT MISSION

To move to Rome for a year!

ABOUT ME

I was raised in Manhattan, and went to a school for music and art. When I was sixteen I got work in Italy and went for three months by myself. I fell in love with the country! I was able to return several more times, (4 in total)and even took my son (then just 6 years old) for the entire summer of 2005. I discovered they don't like to take in children at Hostels...who knew! We had to find cheap hotel rooms at the last minute and then bargain that down as I ran out of money...what an experience. We also stayed with friends along the way. It was really fun though! He loved it. He thought it was like a game.

I'm going again for a month this June 2007, and he will stay with my mom & dad in the U.S. I'm a very lucky person always, and am very grateful for this. When I was young I got the nickname Luckycharm.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is one big adventure...don't let conventional thinking get in your way!

"You can't see the picture when you're hanging in the frame"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just found out about this website a few days ago...March 31st.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first moved to San Francisco years ago in the 90's I slept on the couch of two guys I just met from my hometown. I did their dishes and made their beds. Within three weeks I found a permanent place to live and had two jobs. They didn't want me to leave : ) It was a great experience.

Interests

Walking everywhere...I'm a New Yorker. Also I love all things Italian. I love to read. When I was a little girl I was always walking to school with my nose in a book. I love ancient history, red wine, motorcycles, Carmel CA, too many things to name at this time...
