I am a graphic designer and artist who is based in New York, on my way to Nebraska and California. I'm very friendly and love meeting new people, particularly from cultures outside of my own. I have a very silly sense of humor, I'm an Aquarius, and my fave color is salmon.

My philosophy:

A little bit of Buddhism, a bigger bit of common sense. I enjoy and respect meditation as a form of healing, and am willing to guide a meditation with hosts in exchange for stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to try new things and experience places through their inhabitants. I had a fantastic time couchsurfing in Reykjavik, Odense and Berlin.

Interests

I love studying art and design and exploring new places. I also like to get a little lost sometimes, just to make the trip more adventurous. Simple pleasures are the best pleasures. I also love animals and learning new languages. If you have a pet, I will most likely adore it.

I have been to India, and seen incredible things in the north from Saduks and holy men, to monkey fights, to the most extreme form of poverty.
