I grew up in Texas in an international family, went to university in a French speaking city in Canada, and now live in NYC. Over different periods of my life, I've been heavily influenced by radically different cultures & approaches to life and can probably get along with almost anyone.

My greatest problem in life: too many things to do and not enough time to do them! I've picked up quite a number of hobbies and interests over my 26 years and hope to pursue them deeply for all my life.

Love fast motorcycles, nature/hiking/backpacking, travel to random places, and meeting people. Very much an extrovert.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet other hosts while traveling and to meet new people while showing them around NYC. In general, I'd like to try something new since I've never done this before!
