I work in public horticulture in Brooklyn, and am very passionate about access to green space for everyone. I love singing and playing the guitar, and I occasionally do comedy shows in NYC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This community attracts such kind, generous, and fascinating people, and I am so thankful it exists. What could be better than forging real connections with people in their cities and spaces?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend and I went spelunking in Budapest. I used to be claustrophobic when I was younger so I really wasn't sure how it would go, but it was fun and exhilarating. My guide was very funny and cracked jokes the whole time, which helped.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an intermediate guitar player, though a bit rusty these days. I can teach you about urban ecological gardening, and tell you about what life is like in New York City. I love doing watercolors, although I don't have much in the way of actual training.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk, sing, play music, cook, explore, and laugh with people.
