I am a single professional who has spent over 20 years in New York and knows the region very well. I believe the best way to experience a place like New York City is through the people who actually live and breathe it every day. NYC is full of incredible landmarks, but the real magic is in the neighborhoods, local spots, and everyday conversations that don’t make it into travel guides.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to truly experience a place is through the people who live there. Hotels and tourist sites are great, but they can't offer the kind of connection, culture, and insight that comes from sharing stories over a homemade meal or getting local tips from someone who calls the city home. I love meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and the idea of creating a global community built on trust, kindness, and shared experiences. Couchsurfing isn’t just about a place to sleep—it’s about human connection, and that’s what really excites me about being part of this platform.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music: I’m into [indie rock, jazz, and R&B and a little bit of classical when I’m feeling nostalgic.
🎬 Favorite Movies: I love a mix of thought-provoking and feel-good films like When Harry Met Sally, Oceans Eleven, and Serendipity.
📚 Favorite Books: I’m drawn to fiction and biographies—Lionhart, and Lincoln are all-time favorites, and I’m always on the hunt for the next great read.

Looking forward to good company, good stories, and the kind of New York experiences you only get from locals!
