I love hoarding books and reading them too. I worked at two restaurants and an ice cream shop in the East Village but quit them all to travel. I get around NYC by cruiserboard and bike.

Art, fashion, food, journaling, photography, music, travel, language, and culture. All around metropolitan, city-slicker.

I am a BIG foodie. I love love love to eat delicious food (*especially* from other cultures)

I'm a big thinker and writer. And i talk out loud to myself... a lot.

When in doubt, travel.

4/20 friendly :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

~Make new friends!!! I loooove to travel but it's hard to have fun if you don't the culture, where to go, or what to do.

~Live like a local!!! I don't want to go to stay at a resort/hotel and shun myself from the real, raw culture! Couchsurfing allows me to travel to new places and make friends who can show me what a day-in-the-life is like in their world!

Interests

Fashion, language, culture.

I love doing yoga and as a hobby, I do embroidery and make clothes sometimes but most of the time i rot my brain marathoning k-dramas. I loooooove traveling! There's so much of the world that I want to see!

I also find science, space, and this entire universe to be very very interesting and intriguing...to go outer space would be a dream come true.
