Overview
About Me
Recently left New York City to explore Europe. Based in Berlin for the time being and loving every last thing this city has to offer. I love meeting interesting, passionate people and learning their stories and how they live. Fascinated by all types of art--performance, visual, dance, theater, or anything in between (especially in between- blurry lines are good). Love being in the outdoors and finding beauty in nature. Yoga, biking, running, and hiking are my favorite ways to sweat. Love trying new types of food and pairing it with delicious wine. And any chance to dance and have a fun time is always part of my agenda. Living each moment as it is today. :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's the best way to meet interesting people and experience cities. As I'm traveling throughout Europe this summer, I'm seeking out AUTHENTIC and genuine experience in each of the cities I visit. I want to open my eyes and see how others live and think and breathe and enjoy life. I don't think there's a better way to experience this besides couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music--So difficult for me to choose, because I honestly love so many types of music. I think it is one of the most beautiful things that can tie us together. There's something transcendent about the power of music. Having said that I like a lot of underground house, techno, deep house, experimental music, classical, musical theater (I grew up performing so they still hold a soft spot in my heart), beachtime vibes, chill music to listen to while sipping on wine.
Movies--Lately: Clouds of Sils Maria, Ex Machina, Jurassic Park, Boyhood, Birdman, Whiplash, The Grand Budapest Hotel, most of last year's best picture nominees, Django Unchained.
All time faves: Any Wes Anderson film, Titanic, Toy Story, UP, The Shining, Finding Nemo, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Lord of the Rings, Samsara, The Lion King, American Beauty, Requiem for a Dream, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Miss Sunshine, Singin' in the Rain, Pan's Labyrinth, The Big Lebowski, Into the Wild, The Wizard of Oz, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff?, The Truman Show...many, many more.
