Hi! I'm Amber! I'm originally from Virginia and have been living in Manhattan since 2009. I'm in my last year of medical school, so my hosting schedule varies a lot week to week. I'm a very easy-going, down-to-earth girl who likes nerdy things. I spend a lot of my free time cooking and thinking about what I'll be cooking next. People tell me that I'm a good listener and am very easy to talk to, and I like to think that I'm funny!

I live in Midtown West, one avenue (3 minute walk) from Times Square, so please keep in mind the area is a little noisy/busy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a few people from CS, and a few others from other websites and the experiences have always been good ones! I enjoy meeting new people and especially love sharing NYC with those who have never been here before!

Interests

Reading, music, meeting new people, sunshine, cooking and getting to eat my creations, and making bad jokes.
