CURRENT MISSION

to open my eyes and see the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a middle school English teacher in NYC by trade, but I'm always learning. I love exploring and visiting new places. I guess I'm a shy, quiet, person, but I'll open up when I get to know you, and I love meeting new people. I'm always up for an adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to experience as much of the world as possible. I try not to be close-minded and believe that learning is a necessary, continuous process that occurs through meeting new people and trying new things.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm happy to show people around NYC. If you're interested in seeing a Broadway show, I'm the person to go to for advice on what to see and how to get cheap tickets. I can help you find some good food, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to Couchsurfer, so I don't have any experience yet, but hopefully I'll be able to add to this section soon!

Teach: I'll be able to teach you how to see a bunch of Broadway shows as cheaply as possible (I'm a theatre junkie), and I'll tell you what's good that's onstage at the moment. I'll expose you to some cool bands, too.

Learn: I'm open to learning whatever you want to teach me! It would be great to be exposed to some good food.
