CURRENT MISSION

Seeing all the landmarks and holes in the walls

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still working on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still pretty new to the CS project, but I'm open to having coffee with anyone who is passing through New York!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was inspired to join the CouchSurfing community when my friend on my dorm hall hosted two wonderful guys from the west coast. Gearing their stories and showing them around was such a cool experience, and it left me wanting more.

Interests

I love learning about other cultures. I have a passion for traveling and I want to see the whole world while I'm living on it. I love to write, read, listen to all kinds of music, watch movies, hang out in museums, cafes and bookstores, explore new places, take walks, and have deep conversations as well as funny ones.

I also watch really bad reality TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll never forget the time my family and I rented a car and drove down the coast of California. Two weeks of nothing but huge cliffs and cerulean water. I'd do it again anytime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a couple chords on the guitar, and I'd love to learn more! I also want to learn the ukulele and bartending. Maybe some recipes too.
