"Whoever you are, I've always depended on the kindness of strangers." - Blanche Dubois

A native New Yorker, I have been living in NY for the past couple of years; a city I love dearly, but feel like I am ready to move on. But I'm not sure where to, or what my next step should be. Would love to travel a bit, learn more about what's out there, and about myself.

Having been a city boy my entire life, I am accustomed to staying in small apartments, while being cognizant of how my actions affect others in the same space.

I don't smoke, drink, or do any form of drugs. More of a nerd/geek than a partier, but enjoy the occasional clubbing/bar-hopping (despite not drinking). I really dislike the smell of cigarettes and weed, sorry :(.

FWIW, I also happen to be a gay male, so I hope to connect with people that are gay-friendly :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

(see about me section ^_^)

I also view Couchsurfing as an amazing resource to meet people from different cultures all over the world, that you would otherwise never have the chance to. Someday, when I am settled in a place of my own, I would love to be able to be that amazing host for people wanting to experience whichever place I end up in :).

I am certainly not just on here to find places to stay. I also like to build connections wherever I go, as that's one of my main motivations for traveling solo in the first place; whether it is a CS host/surfer, or just awesome folks that are interested in meeting up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving cross-country to a city where I knew no one and had no job/home, might not sound like a big feat for many, but for me it was probably the bravest thing I have ever done :).
