A native New Yorker, I left the States in January 2019 to pursue a career change to marine conservation.

Talk nerdy to me! I am super interested in spirited dialogue on everything from the academic to the spiritual to politics.

Empathy, integrity, and hilarity are my guiding principles for CS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mostly solo travel and making meaningful connections with locals make traveling that much more memorable.
