Hi there! I'm a director/theater critic/writer/teacher currently based in Brooklyn. Love getting everywhere by bike. Love being a cat mom. Nerd extraordinaire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to do more traveling -- especially the spontaneous, adventurous sort!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent all night outside at Stone Henge on the Summer Solstice. It poured rain and there were drums and druids and dancing and fields of white flowers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't take up much space! :) I'm respectful, tidy, and quiet, and the one favor I'll probably ask is if I can bring my bike with me and lock it somewhere near by (or perhaps keep it inside for the night if you're okay with that). Will happily barter or cook/bake or bring you cookies/wine/beer/etc, or simply fun conversation and good cheer!

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Ireland, Italy, Russian Federation, Scotland
