CURRENT MISSION

To find interesting people amidst my travels

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Sandra and I am a 38 year old pediatric physical therapist who loves to travel. I live in NYC, a city that I love and offers so much diversity, great cultural events, and amazing food! It captivates all that I love through travel. But there's nothing I love more than taking off to experience a new culture in its authenticity through local people and experiences!

PHILOSOPHY:
I believe in enjoying life to its fullest in the present! It is important to me to spend time with my family and friends, being a part of the important occasions in their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far, my experiences have been very positive. I have made wonderful contacts and friends through my experiences.

Interests

I love to do anything outdoors...running, biking, swimming, surfing. I've participated in several half-marathons, and 2 full marathons. I LOVE the performing arts, especially theater and ballet. I LOVE cooking and experiencing unique places to eat, off the beaten path...

Music, Movies, and Books

I read almost anything (within reason)that I can get my hands on, especially if I"m learning something new! I enjoy all types of music, mostly cultural.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland was very compelling and emotional, due to the personal ties held there (my mom is from Poland, and my great-uncle died in a concentration camp).

Teach, Learn, Share

I look forward to learning as much as I can through the people I meet, places I go, and events that I hope to participate in!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My excitement for life and new cultural experiences. I love experiencing new types of food with people, and sharing my knowledge of cooking and food with others.
