I live with my best friend in Brooklyn. We are both backpackers and have both couchsurfed many times and really enjoyed it. I love to travel and am pretty much away from home any chance I get, but I'm a graduate student so I stay in NY during the school term. I'm incredibly sarcastic and love to joke around. I generally prefer to have interesting conversation over a drink or a coffee, and there are tons of great bars and cafes close to us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a city is through its people. I have been lucky enough to have been hosted by some amazing people in Belgium, Budapest, and another type of homestay in Bali, and Rome and they were a great way to make new friends and experience a place like someone who lives there. While I've enjoyed being a surfer myself, I'm excited to be able to host some fellow couchsurfers in Brooklyn now!

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Spanish (not a native speaker, but very conversational) and I love to teach a little bit to anyone who is interested in learning! And I can help with English too!

I love cooking, so I can definitely cook some meals and share recipes
