ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded loving person who tends to get along with everyone I meet. I love new experiences and new people. I enjoy sharing stories and experiences with people from cultures that are different from my own.

I live in New York City where I work as a photographer at the American Museum of Natural History. I am an MC and write songs in my free time. I want to freestyle with you, or make any kind of music.

PHILOSOPHY

Each individual creates her or his own environment. I try to generate positive energy in my life by trying to find the bright side of all things. I've found that when I look for opportunities to help others 1. it makes me feel good, 2. I am able to find help when I need it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed on many couches when I was traveling in South America and it was one of the best experiences of my trip. And I crashed on a couch while looking for a more permanent residence when I moved to Asheville. Now I would like to return the favor by hosting some people in Brooklyn.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had so much fun meeting new people, crashing on couches, and attending couchsurfing events while I was in Buenos Aires. I love this network.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tend to believe my whole life is pretty amazing. Something amazing happens everyday and it is hard to pick a few, but one example was when I was backpacking in the San Juan Mountains, My friends and I camped next to a little pond. That evening a mother moose and two calves wandered into the pond and hung out there eating and drinking for almost an hour. They were only about 20 feet from us!Also my entire 6-month trip in South America was mind blowing. Ask me about getting tear gassed in Peru!
