About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn from the worlds people and places. Stop to think. Teach what I have learned.

ABOUT ME

I was raised in NYC and have set out to travel Europe and Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

To live through more than one perspective. Learn as much as possible from travel, reading and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to CS and would like to learn as much as possible from the people I meet!

Interests

Addicted to coffee. I'm at coffee shops everyday reading or writing. Love to get coffee with people!

I love to write. I have been writing every day since I started my trip. I mostly write about the people I meet and will write a book.

MOTORCYCLES

I bought my first motorcycle in February of 2014. I rode over 5000 km in just a few months. I rode across Nepal on a Royal Enfield, across Vietnam on a motorbike with a broken front suspension and across Bali on a dirt bike.

In the past year I have read over 70 books, from philosophy to fiction to science.

I am trying to learn local recipes in the countries that I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode across Vietnam, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City in one week. Later when I tried to sell the motorbike more than one mechanic said that the front suspension was broken, and I had ridden over 2000km with it, never crashed :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences in over 65 countries and territories traveled, a perspective of life in NYC and the US

Help with English, it is very fulfilling to watch people improve with languages :) (I was a journalist and editor for my university)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Albania, United States
