Hello CouchSurfing. I'm an American living in New York City. Travelling to Colombia to celebrate Carnival.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Opportunity knocks in secret places. Never who you'll meet if you keep an open mind.
In Thailand, Japan and other countries the community on CS has offered me incredible experiences and lifelong friendships.
Happy to show you around in New York if you're in town and and excited to join forces with other travelers while on the road!
