New Yorker on the road. I've spent the last 2 years living abroad (Thailand and New Zealand), and next up is back to Amurrica. I'm making a move to Oakland! Excited to see what the west coast has to offer.

I love the mountains and the ocean, I'm committed to issues of social and racial justice, and I'm beyond psyched to get back to urban living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Slow travel and community building!
