About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy New York CIty (and share it!)

ABOUT ME

I suffer from an insatiable craving for spicy food.

I grew up moving around every few years, and it's in my blood; I haven't traveled enough, but I'm not sure if I ever could.

I'm back in school at the moment, and thus usually tucked away with a book somewhere.

I live in Little Italy, which really means the intersection of four amazing Manhattan neighborhoods. I walk out of my apartment building in the morning, look over my right shoulder, and see sunlight dancing off of the Empire State Building.

Beaches or mountains? I haven't made up my mind yet, really. Both?

PHILOSOPHY

The only regrets you remember are the times you DIDN'T.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly, space is awfully tight - but I'm right here in the heart of Manhattan, and I'm more than happy to help navigate the city. There's always something new to see!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a new/infrequent member, but I've been shamelessly crashing on friends' couches for years.

Interests

New York City! Fresh new experiences - people to share them with. Running, reading, walking all day long. A bottle of wine, great food, or an all-hours party - as long as the conversation is good, the company is real, and the day is an adventure.

When on vacation, I'd rather be outdoors.
