CURRENT MISSION

to meet, eat, drink, roam while on few hours of sleep, explore

ABOUT ME

I love thrift stores, eating, cooking, staying in bed to read books, rocknroll, whiskey, loud and live music, art museums, Chinatown (in any city), traveling, writing, long discussions, crossword puzzles, used bookstores, and wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Be excellent to each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled the world and I've met incredible people who have had the generosity of showing me their cities and their homes. I am a little sedentary at the moment, and have to put my own traveling aside. Now it's my turn to be a host in Brooklyn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wonderful! I love meeting new people and friends, being exposed to new ideas, having long conversations, sharing meals and learning how to cook new foods, and having an insider's perspective on each city I visit.

Interests

Walking around and looking at things, sustainability, classic literature, art, vegetarianism, anthropology and comparative studies, books, gardening, creativity, coffee, beer, wine, cooking, vintage clothing.
