CURRENT MISSION

Travel and perform around the world

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, artsy, down-to-earth Buddhist aiming to make a friend in every country of the world. Seasoned traveler. One day I want to live on an island and use a sea kayak to go "next door" to borrow a cup of sugar, and maybe become a sea plane pilot. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be real, don't worry about what people think, speak your truth, value freedom, speak up against abuse of authority, and above all be kind.
My personal theme for this year is Generosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and I host! Also happy to meet people for coffee/beer or offer suggestions on what to do in New York City.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Prague, Switzerland and Italy and the United States.
I also surfed in Brazil and ended up staying for 3 months! It was one of the best experiences of my life and I made friendships that will last a lifetime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a foreign village before I knew anyone or spoke the local language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach voice lessons for singing. I can also teach a recipe or two. I know a little bit about a lot of things. I can sing, photograph, garden, help you write lyrics to your next song, and take a dog for a walk. I will also be happy to help you with your English.

I would love to learn a local dance, local cooking or local language
