CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world's great cities while learning something new at each destination.

ABOUT ME

I started couch-surfing three years ago with a visit to Lyon. I've been in love with it ever since.

PHILOSOPHY

I have many wonderful friends back home in New York and I believe that bright, passionate and lovely people just like them exist in every country in the world. My goal is to find as many of them as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have seen my good friends from Lyon around New York making more friends from the city in the process. I currently live at home with my folks so I have not yet had the pleasure of hosting anyone though I cannot wait until I get my own place so I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch-surfed to Krakow, Lyon, Ireland, Brussels, Paris, Nantes, and the Czech Republic.
