*** I no longer live in Budapest, Hungary. haven't figured out how to change the location***
Born and raised in Manhattan. Anyone who has ever meet me would perfectly describe me as "chill". By the end of August I will be completing a 3 month woodworking artist residency program at the Peters Valley School Of Craft in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Recently I impulsively bought a plane ticket to Berlin, so I guess Im backpacking Europe for now. My second time back in 2 years and I hope I have another memorable experience. Looking to meet incredible people and share the unique experience of life with. I want to hear all your crazy stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Made this profile a few years back but never used it yet because I am anxious little duckling . However this is my first solo trip ever and I really hope to make long lasting connections and experiences. I believe that CS is tool to make cultural exchange easier while traveling and it connects you with like-minded people from different countries. Hopefully through making connections on this trip I can finally find what I am looking for// cannot find within myself.
