Overview
About Me
I am an artist from NY in NZ and now on to Hawaii!
I love to travel and experience living in different parts of the world.
I love finding things I have in common with people of all different backgrounds and getting to learn about their experiences. Mostly though, I love to laugh and try new foods!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
During my time in Auckland my flatmates and I hosted MANY couch surfers, but this is my first time trying to use it for myself. Now I am hoping to turn in some of that good couchsurfing karma I've earned showing people around Auckland, and hope that some friends I have not yet met will do the same for me in Honolulu!!!

Music, Movies, and Books
Benny and Joon, Anchorman, Zoolander, Fifth Element, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the list goes on!
I appreciate all genres of music. My favorite is rock, punk rock, indie, alternative, and electronica.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I personalized the blanket that the Obamas gave to Prince George when he was born. As well as a shawl that was a gift to Michelle Obama.
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy striking up conversations with people who I may never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. I think that everyone has a story to offer and an experience to share, and I have found that my stories usually start with a simple "hello" rather than "once upon a time".
