I am a New Yorker who loves seeing new places and meeting new people! I travel to engage with culture, people, and nature. I have found that my favorite way of experiencing new cultures and sharing my own is through food. My goal is to become a public interest lawyer in NYC and see as much of the world as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to Couchsurfing! I came here to meet new people. If I cannot always have time or money to travel, I figure I can still learn and experience different cultures through hosting! When I do get the time to travel, I hope to see new places through the perspective of locals.
