CURRENT MISSION

I'm brand new to couch surfing, figuring a new enriching way to travel

ABOUT ME

I enjoy traveling (hello?) and couchsurfing just seems like a mode of travel I had to try. I am a very easy to please guest/accommodating host.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling around the Middle East right now and look forward to hosting people in New York.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Zero. Nul.

Interests

So many. Languages, dancing, cooking (trying to fuse different things I learn around the world, usually to dismal results), meeting new people, trying to communicate in a new language, making a fool of myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies. A lot. I can watch 10 great movies back-to-back. Il Conformista, Lost in Translation, Paradise Now, Somewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have reported from a war zone and have done several challenging reporting assignments in my career as a journalist, which is still in its developing stages. I would not describe it as amazing, but it has changed my view of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

People who don't like to waste time and yet stop and appreciate the little moments.
