About Me

Hello!
I'm a fun, laid back and easy-going guy who is always looking to meet new people. I live in New York City for more than 15 years now. I know it very well and I'm often being told that I should show it around to visitors for a living. I know speakeasy places and hidden gems in this city and I love walking around and do street photography, find cool beers, watch films, discover new comedians and improvisers and listen to live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best traveling experiences I ever had were staying with friends and locals at their habitat. Getting to know their favorite spots, their friends and their habits. That is the best way to learn about different cultures. It is also much more fun.
