CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, meet new people, and leave this world a better place than when I entered it.

ABOUT ME

Born in California, grew up in Oregon, moved back to Southern California, lived in Santa Cruz for five years where I went to UCSC and then had a lucrative career as a substitute teacher by day and pizza delivery boy by night, and now I live in New York as I pursue my MA in International Relations at NYU.

PHILOSOPHY

Fortune favors the brave.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a place of my own beyond shitty grad student housing, I intend to host and befriend vagabonds, travelers, and wanderers. For now, I can lend you a sympathetic ear and (limited) local knowledge.

I am currently traveling between New York City and New Orleans from 6 June until 1 August, so I won't be able to respond to your requests. However, feel free to send me a message if you have any specific questions about New York and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible.
