About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a go-with-the-flow kind of person, very laidback, and spontaneous. I'm up for anything, and love meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Just go with it. And if you're not sure, do it anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed all over California and a spot in Argentina. Never had a bad experience and I wish I could travel more to couchsurf more.

I live in Brooklyn and love it here. I live in a loft with 3 roommates and 3 kitty cats so it's very cozy and friendly. The place is mostly open space and the bedrooms are a bit unconventional (bedroom in renovated elevator shaft, cubby hole type room reached by ladder, etc) so while I'd love to host, there is not a lot of room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some awesome people while couchsurfing. When I tell people what couchsurfing.com is, they go "whaaaat? on *strangers'* couches?!", I vouch for it 100% and will probably never stay at a hotel again. The fact that this community exists and is a thriving one makes me happy that travel hasn't totally morphed into the "all inclusive resort" type.

Interests

I hang with my Burning Man camp/collective of costume-lovers in NYC a lot so I make costumes for events quite a bit. I also make jewelry and run a small Etsy shop where I sell my jewelry, costumes, art, and vintage items I find here in Brooklyn.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love indie movies, new music from all over the world, books by Chuck Palahnuik & David Sedaris.

Some of my fave movies are Royal Tenenbaums, Labyrinth, Baraka, Planet Earth documentary....can't think of anything else, I know there're more! I'm a Netflix junkie and it's trashed my movie memory.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fell when bungee jumping off a 120-foot bridge in California. It's a pretty funny video.

Putting a tutu on a 25 foot King Kong at 10am at Burning Man, which meant having to climb a ladder on LSD.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything about an Apple product, can figure out a ton of tech issues, how to travel using only one bag, Argentine culture, how to make amazing milanesas, I love trading books and music with people, gifting souvenirs (polaroids!), show you my extensive youtube faves collection...
