I'm a theatermaker, writer and creatrix! I've lived in NYC for ten years now, and continue to love it. In 2016, I left my Executive Assistant job to focus on my writing full-time, and I've never been happier. Now I can travel more than I ever used to, and meet amazing humans all over the world! I'm a proud feminist and "social justice warrior" with a huge heart and a never-ending thirst for connection. It's great to meet you. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I continue to travel - both for theater and for pleasure (and for trips that combine both!) - I'm always looking for more connection-happy, cost-effective means of lodging. Last year I went to Durham, San Diego, Cincinnati, and small towns in PA and NY. This year (2017) I'm going international for the first time in years, going to Edinburgh! I can't wait to meet all the huge-hearted people who open up their homes to travelers around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started my own theater company!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have the CUTEST cat and I will show you so many pictures of her!

I'll happily chew your ear about what it's like being a writer or doing theater, or whip up a meal using what you've got in the kitchen.

I write my own advice column (http://helpmedylan.tumblr.com/) and I've been told I give fantastic advice. ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not a bad cook, and I don't mind cleaning out kitty litter boxes (I've got a kitty of my own!).
