CURRENT MISSION

Live every day for no other reason than "because I want to"

ABOUT ME

I'm an extremely energetic adventurer. If I'm in a place too familiar for too long I get antsy and start planning my next trip. However, I'm pretty content in NYC for a little while longer :)

In between adventures I meander through parks and spend my days working for a family start-up.

Oh, and I can make conversation with a wall if I had to which is proof that it's impossible to feel awkward around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While my couch isn't always available, I can always squeeze in a cup of coffee (or bubble tea!!!) and love to do so. Send me an email any time you're in NYC (or your friends are!) and I'm happy to show you around and share the non-touristy side of the city. I've been shuttling friends around for years, it's time that I use my knack for hosting in a broader way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been an unofficial couch surfer for years. Before every trip I used to send an email out to all my friends and travel companions to see if anyone had contacts where I'm going. Almost without fail I would find people to meet up with and places to sleep. Because of that I came to CS and decided it do it officially so I can meet more people and help out my fellow travelers.

Everyone still thinks I'm crazy for it, but I moved to a foreign country (all alone) when I was 19.

Oh, and one time I jumped out of a plane.
