CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

23 - NYC native - writer. Left my job in PR to teach English in Southeast Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship." - Louisa May Alcott

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I--I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

"And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to blossom."
- Anaïs Nin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to participate more! Right now I'm looking for somewhere to crash - when I return to NYC I'd be more than happy to return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some really cool couchsurfing experiences when I studied abroad in the Netherlands & traveled all over Europe (2008), but I haven't couchsurfed since then! Eager to get back into it when I move to Southeast Asia.
