About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing, interested person who loves to talk about everything and do anything! I am equally happy when I am at a crazy party as when I'm alone in the woods. I am absolutely fearless when it comes to new experiences, new people, new foods, new anything. Got any ideas?

PHILOSOPHY

Pay attention. Follow your wits. Don't confuse movement with action, but definitely don't confuse inaction with action.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this community, but I can't wait to meet some people in Morocco this summer, and to host some travelers in New York when I return!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I planted mangroves in a forest in Senegal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about New York. I'm very good at math. Pretty good at chess. I am pretty handy in the kitchen, and I have a talent for fixing things. I can fillet a fish well. I am also a good teacher, and I'd be happy to help with a lesson in English, or Wolof.
