CURRENT MISSION

To visit 2/3 of the countries in the world before I die.

ABOUT ME

My life is full of joy. I love meeting new people and exploring new places. :-)

I am a native New Yorker but I've been living in Tempe, AZ for two years now. I love to teach almost as much as I love to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to be able to meet people who are interested in seeing NYC with a real New Yorker (holiday season and summer), or who are passing through Tempe and need to utilize the 1 br space of a passionate workaholic and neglectful mom of 2 kittens. I am welcoming and loving and I hope to find the same in return. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with some awesome Guatemalan boys in Antigua years ago. I've never hosted but I look forward to it. :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roasted marshmallows on bubbling lava, spelunked with the creatures from the Descent, ate a few cueys...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love New York City. I was born and raised in uptown Manhattan, something that very few people can say. Made it through the good old NYC public school system. I have seen NYC turn from a crime infested, dirty crack city to a capitalist metropolis. I know the subway like it is the back of my hand. I watch tourists get onto the trains and dream of being a tour guide. I can never resist starting a conversation! I love my city and I want to teach you why it's so wonderful!!

UPDATE: I now live in Tempe, AZ. However, I am in New York for all major holidays and I would still love to show you around.
