Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The best way to experience a new place is through the eyes of a local. I'd love to meet new people and experience places with those who know the area well. I also love sharing my city and all of my favorite places with travelers!

Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to share my love of music, especially with those visiting NYC! I have lots of great smaller venues to recommend.

I'd love to help out with cooking and cleaning. I'm also great with kids, so if you need a nanny I'm your gal.
