CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, and meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I am a middle school mathematics teacher in Brooklyn, NY. I live very close to the New York City and am using my summers off as an opportunity to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed through Berlin and Frankfurt for the first time with three different hosts. All were wonderful experiences.

Interests

I like learning new skills whenever I find time. I write and record my own music. Also, for the past few years I've learned how to brew quality beer (maybe one day open up my own brewery).
