I'm a graduate student at Columbia University. A martial artist, disability advocate, TED talker, karaoke lover...
I like sightseeing, restaurants, movies, or even just going to a diner and chatting for hours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived in New York City for the last 7 years but had to move out just recently. I have family in another state but I still have business to attend to, friends to see, and events in New York.
I'm looking to commute into the city so seeking people who can let me stay for a couple nights a week. I used to be a local so I bet I can show you around to some places.
