I am a native New Yorker that has a very large passion for traveling and meeting new people. I love learning about new cultures and exploring different countries. Nothing gives me more pleasure than meeting new people and making strong connections and friendships! Currently traveling all over the world for work. I'm usually trying to make sure everyone is having a good time wherever I go, and I try to take care of anyone I come into contact with, you catch more bees with honey than you ever will with vinegar...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My work schedule is extremely busy, and it is hard to have friends and family that can take vacations when I do. A friend told me about couch surfing, and the community so I figured I'd check it out! I'm here to meet new people and find some travel companions in the places I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fed wandering Camels in the Jordanian desert, and got to play with them for about 30 minutes until they decided they had better things to do, and wondered off!

What I Can Share with Hosts

hopefully a strong friendship as well as sharing my experiences of interacting with many different cultures for both work and personal travel, and having a very unique perspective on the world by working for the government and seeing how policy directly affects people. I can also cook, entertain and tell awesome stories! I hope to be a great host for you when you come to the USA!
