CURRENT MISSION

I want to see every nook and cranny of this world! As far as I know, I only have this one life, so I'd like to connect with as many countries and people

ABOUT ME

I love a good story. And i feel the best stories unfold while traveling. I'm adventurous, open- minded, a foodie, and I love to get to know new people.
The world has to much to see and offer then to just sit in one place forever. I am realizing this more and more as I travel to new places.
I'm enthusiastic by nature, love anything artistic, have a warm personality and looking forward to meeting you all!

I have an AirBnB in Jersey City if anyone is interested during their stay in NYC. Email me and we can talk.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still developing my personal philosophy. Will let you know as soon as I'm clear on it myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd just like to put more awareness out there. Meaning, Id like to learn about someone else's community and I'd like them to hear about my community. It is by sharing these thoughts, I feel like I'm giving back and showing appreciation to the city that helped form me into who I am.

Interests

I'm big on walks. It is only through walking one can see the nitty gritty details of things that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise. There is something so special about the built environment - and every few blocks no matter where you are in the world or in what region - the flavor of each section....shifts. I just love picking up on the nuances of each new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to Africa. An experience of a lifetime. I got an opportunity to create a Tanzanian bride's wedding flowers and I am forever grateful that she found me and felt my floral designs were special enough to invite me to come work on her wedding party. Nowhere else have I meet kinder people, with such sincere happiness to meet me. I was supposed to only be there a week but stayed a month. How can I not? These people are amazing and I was overwhelmed by the generosity and the way the Tanzanian people took care of me. I also had a chance to go to Zanzibar during this visit and came back with the sweetest memories. The newness of traveling to such a drastically different culture than mine was very special to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to learn how to arrange flowers then I will most definitely teach you at some point during my stay with you. It's the least I can do for you letting me stay in your home! :-)
