About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, meet new people, and learn about different kinds of food and cultures

ABOUT ME

I am working on my Masters in Accountancy at Baruch College in NYC, and plan to work as an auditor. I love food (especially desserts) and I love to dance! I mainly take classes in ballet, tap and jazz, but I also love modern, salsa, tango, hiphop and most every other kind of dance! I tend to be shy, but I try not to be. I love to laugh and learn and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

There is so much that is important to me. Sometimes I believe that I am living to love. I love spending time with my family and friends and as far as I've experienced, everything is more meaningful when you share it with other people. I don't really know yet why I'm here, but that's part of why I travel - to explore

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am offering my couch for when I am home (I am in school half the year), and I am hoping others will offer me their couch for when I am traveling!

I attend couchsurfing get togethers when I can, and I have really enjoyed talking with people from all over the world. I have only surfed a few times, but each time, I have had a lot more fun than I expected, and learned a whole lot! I've had a really good experience with couchsurfing so far, so I look forward to the adventures it brings me in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it when people that host me are free to show me around or meet me for drinks. That has probably been the highlights of my experiences. I also very much enjoy when 40 or so of us are crammed into a small bar for the weekly gatherings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music. My dad is a musician so I am very open to new kinds. She's the Man is my favorite movie but I love so many movies just because it's a wonderful art form. The Giver was my favorite book as a child, but I am still searching for my favorite book as an adult. I just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love and I loved it, but I don't think I can call it my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have danced on the stage of several cruise ships that traveled to places like Hawaii and the Bahamas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very young so I have a lot to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy cooking and sweets, so I would like to share either of these with the person I stay with.
