In short: I'm gregarious, I write about cities, I'm interested in what you have to say. Others would probably describe me as easygoing. The frequency with which I put ketchup on food is often pointed out to me, as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often host friends (and friends of friends) when they come to New York. I had an epic couchsurf in Dublin a few years ago. I'm still friendly with my host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not amazing, but people who pick me up when I hitchhike usually say they're amazed to see a hitchhiker.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you host me, I will pay the favor forward, handsomely: free couch in Brooklyn in a home with lovely ladies who will take you to good parties/fun things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

See above. Everyone says this, but: I'm neat, respectful of shared spaces and the rules of your house. If you need verification, I'd be happy to put you in touch with roommates and others who can vouch for me.
