CURRENT MISSION

Currently living in NYC, opening myself to new experiences in art and in life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a New Yorker born and bred. I have a deep connection to my city, but not an attachment. I like to think of myself as a citizen of the Earth! I live in Queens, which I recently found out is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the WORLD! You can find me cycling about, enjoying incredible food and singing a song--usually all at the same time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good to your fellow man. We're all seeking the same thing: Happiness.

"And once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once that thought becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically. If you approach others with the thought of compassion, that will automatically reduce fear and allow an openness with other people." HH Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to my first experience when I hit the road crosscountry this summer.

Interests

Music; I've been singing since I was very young. I can't imagine a day going by without me singing a diddy (or two, or seven...just ask my friends). I'm now being accompanied by my Ukulele!
Food--cooking it, reading about it, eating it, or just staring at photos of it. Cycling, swimming, THE SEA, admiring art or making it, reading, does chilling count as in interest?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank coffee straight for the source on my grandfathers farm in Colombia over looking mountains beyond mountains. If I close my eyes I can still smell it all!
