About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give and receive the most love possible in each and every moment.

ABOUT ME

Currently living in Montclair, NJ, building an empire and spreading joy, love and creative freedom every moment I can

Previously: 8 months in Houston, Texas volunteering for Americorps mentoring high school students, 4 months Camping, Wwooffing and couchsurfing around the US, and a year living in Spain and teaching english. All of that was preceded by 4 years working in the finance industry in New Jersey and NYC, before I woke up to the blank map of life in front of me : )

"Doubt Everything. Find Your Own Light." Buddha

PHILOSOPHY

Love. Fearless, ego-less, boundless love.
Don't be an ass hole.
All is one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently open to hosting fellow world travelers, soul-seekers, musicians/artists, and couchsurfers in the Montclair area, where I just recently moved to.
I surf during my travels to meet other world travelers and those living by the heart. I haven't hosted much as I've been pretty nomadic the past two years, but now that I have my own place in Albany, I am happy to pay forward all the love I received while traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CSed a fair amount in the US while traveling, as well as in Spain, Germany, Ireland when I was Europe for a year. I hosted a couple of times while living in Spain, including a French traveler who I met at a local conversation exchange. I have all positive experiences and have maintained friendships with many couchsurfers I have come across in my journeys.

Interests

Music. Ecstatic Dance. Nature. Laughter. Traveling. Skiing. Good food. Good company. Good stories. Anything that will bring me and those I'm with outside our comfort zones.
