I’m a New York gal whose lived a few lives. I went to school for religion, gender, and sexuality. I taught ESL in Thailand and France, and clairvoyance/psychometry/telepathy in Hong Kong. Pre-school in Manhattan and now gardening in Brooklyn. I love nature, especially raising plants, jungle treks, outdoor athletics, 420, forest bathing, and wild animals. Travel is my passion, and couchsurfing has deepened my vagabonding experience by letting me meet new people, locals even!, and learn more about the area I’m visiting. Even better if we connect and become close friends, which has happened several times. I adore house/bus guests, and am happy to return the favor in NYC or wherever I am in the world. Sharing is caring :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I’m traveling, I like to live cheaply and in the present... Couchsurfing is really the best way, and I’ve met incredible and inspiring people all over the world. When I’ve got a home base myself, I like to pay it forward and invite people into my little world. Welcome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rescuing my amazing, perfect puppers 🐕 🐺

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: bike, ski, row, swim, garden, dive, speak to animals, explore the inner reaches of your soul and the soul of the world.

Learn: more about your culture, construction, new words in different languages, and your favorite place to eat.

Share: whatever I’ve got!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Human connection and crazy conversation, tales from the road, discussion on religion, gender, sex, politics, nature, the secret to happiness. I love to clean, can put together an intense salad, and will tend to your plants and animals if you have any.
