I enjoy playing music, going to see live music, and dancing to said live music. I like rock climbing, the French language, ice cream, and exploring what any city has to offer, especially by bicycle. At the same time, I love nature and enjoy getting out of the city to go hiking, kayaking, camping, etc. I hosted a lot when I lived in Chicago but now I’m in a less desirable area in upstate NY, so I’m guessing guests will be few and far in between. But hey, if you’re road tripping it up or have some dire reason to come to WNY, send that request! My partner and I love hosting surfers. Just make sure to read the Home section so you know what you’re getting yourself into. :-) Personally, I feel that Couchsurfing is about connection, not *just* a free place to stay. Please read my entire profile before requesting to stay with me, including the home section. Tell me why you’d like to stay with me and why you think we’d get along. ➡️ A message lacking personalization or one that is copy & pasted will simply be declined. ⭐️ I will not host you if you have zero references although I have been persuaded in the past with a genuine & personalized message from people who truly understand how this platform works. :-) Still reading? Cool, we’ll probably get along and I’m guessing you’re someone who desires connection, not just a free place to stay. Now go read that home section so we’re both on the same page when I receive your request. (There are two things about my home that I wouldn’t want you to be surprised about.) 😉 One last thing 👉 We don’t live anywhere near NYC! So if you’re requesting to stay with me but want to go “pop into the city,” you’ve got a 5 hour drive ahead of you. 🙃
