CURRENT MISSION

My ultimate goal in life is to wake up on my 50th birthday and say "Wow, I've done everything with my life that I've wanted . Now let's keep it up for the next 50 years."

ABOUT ME

I'm a very outgoing person and I love meeting new people. Nothing makes me happier than swapping life stories with another person and suddenly realizing that we've been talking for six hours straight. I love traveling and learning languages. I currently live in New York City pursuing an acting career.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open-minded, never pass up the chance at an adventure, and laugh as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a tiny studio apartment that sadly cannot currently accommodate travelers. When my hectic schedule allows, I do really like to meet up for coffee with travelers passing through NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've stayed with someone once through couch surfing and it was a really positive experience. I've also done coffee meet-ups and I've gone to cf events in several different cities and it's always enhanced my travel experience.

Interests

Theatre, singing, biking, backpacking, Salsa dancing, traveling, foreign languages, board games of all kinds, baking, learning to play the guitar (I'm working on it but would always welcome help), reading, watching movies, hiking, swimming in natural bodies of water.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving. Terrifying, exhilarating and beautifully peaceful all at once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a fantastic recipe for this Swiss braided bread that I learned from my Swiss grandmother. I've been trying to make it for people in every place I visit.

I've picked up quite a few different types of card games from people I know. I always enjoying sharing and learning more.

My first language is English and I'm proficient at Spanish, German, and French but always looking to improve, so I'll jump at any chance for language swapping.
