Hey all, Eric here! I am looking to expand my knowledge of the world through traveling. I am currently enrolled in a social work master's program so I am pretty busy and probably unable to host until the summer. However, I love the idea of meeting up with travelers to share a little bit of my NYC experience (I am a native). I hope to one day work with LGBTQ adolescents.

Some interests include: cities, queer politics, social justice, aimlessly riding my bicycle through Brooklyn, running, people watching

I'm gay, if that's something that people would like to know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more than happy to show surfers around here in NYC!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience via CouchSurfing was in Reykjavik. I chatted with a great guy before visiting and hung out with him and his husband multiple times. I didn't stay with them but it definitely confirmed my high opinion of this great network of people.
