I love to travel, try new things, and talk to people! I get along well with pretty much anyone who likes to have fun! My favorite animal (if it's considered an animal?) is the snail, and my favorite food is soup.
Living between NYC and Philly, I attend a lot of concerts, fairs, festivals, museums, and Broadway shows. I also like hiking on shady trails in nice weather, but I am not a fan of the heat—so this summer has been a struggle.

I was born and raised in New Jersey and it is my favorite place in the world—happy to show people around and give recs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think locals have the best perspective on where they live and what makes it special. I hope to meet new people and see their homes through their eyes.

I'm currently leaving my apartment to travel, but I hope to host some day to show people all the amazing things to do in NJ!

Music, Movies, and Books

I drive a lot, and I mostly listen to the radio. I like Taylor Swift! Also a lot of Broadway soundtracks.

My all-time favorite movie is The Lion King. Every year, I like to go to film festivals to see what's new; this year, I've enjoyed Runa Simi, Relay, and Queens of the Dead.

I don't think I have a favorite book, but I recently read Jane Eyre and loved it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with penguins, sharks, fur seals, and turtles in the Galapagos Islands!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a whole lot of useless fun facts about New Jersey!
I love to learn languages and any type of crafts
Always sharing food

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to help with housework, playing with your pets, babysitting, or cooking meals.
I tend to walk around with a collection of postcards that I can give you, trade, or mail to a friend! (And I'll probably send you a thank you card unless you don't like mail)
Always down for a conversation!
