Hello surfers! My name is Jonathan. I'm a Broadway performer and filmmaker. I've been featured in several Broadway musicals, including Aladdin, Spider-Man, and Elf. As a singer, I've recorded and served as an opening act for rock icon Ben Folds. I write sketch comedy videos for youtube, and am big board game enthusiast with over 100 games (I'll try to fit in a few of the smaller ones into my suitcase!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always wanted to travel, but never had the chance with my busy performance schedule until now! I'm incredibly excited to meet new people, and also to learn about cities from people who really live there, not just from travel guides!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Speaking of 'Amazing', I was a contestant on American reality competition, "The Amazing Race", where my best friend and I raced around the world, singing the whole way (we were in the same a capella group in college), where we travelled to England, Ghana, Sweden, and Mexico -- we didn't win the million dollars (I'm apparently not so good at extreme sledding in the Arctic circle), but we had a blast, and I found out I had so much more of the world left to explore!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Want a playmate? I'll play any/all games with you -- party games, card games, sports, whatever! Also, I'm a professional singer, so I'm always down for a good sing-along or karaoke night!
