I’m a low-maintenance, endlessly curious traveler with a passion for meeting new people & an idealistic drive to make this world a better place (one couch at a time, right?). I work for an espresso machine importer (training, technical support, design) and spend free time riding my bike, brewing beer, or making cheese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host and surf whenever possible. I enjoy meeting different people and I'm always trying to appreciate/integrate new perspectives. I’ve hosted and surfed with dozens of people and I‘m eager to meet more. I’ve been here long enough to consider myself a New Yorker and would be happy to make new friends as I show travelers around this great city.
