I came to New York for school and never left! I love it here, and I love traveling and discovering new places as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I'm traveling, I love meeting local people and making new friends. Whenever I'm in a different place, it is the people I meet that makes my experience the most memorable. I love being able to share and exchange cultures and stories of past inspiration and future places to go.

If I'm hosting, I love sharing enthusiasm for my amazing city with visitors. And anyone that values travel and exploration of a foreign place is someone I would like to meet, so it's a great way to meet new friends!

It takes an open mind and heart to value something like couchsurfing, so I think the people that love it make for an awesome community of cool people :).
