I love exploring and adventuring--constantly learning, living and growing with new insights, experiences, knowledge and lifelong connections.
I find myself to be intuitive, yet pragmatic, creative, yet logical in all I have the privilege to engage.
I embrace the unknown and become more comfortable with it, as my greatest growth happens in these moments.
I love having fun, loving fun!
Life happens for us rather than to us, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What a fun way to connect while getting a local flavor of places I'd like to explore and experience. Seems like a creative, adventurous way to journey the world. Coming from NYC, I know the value of capturing local, nuanced perspectives of what to see, do, taste and immerse in.
