IG: @thebenhirsch ABOUT ME Becoming friends with my flight attendants, officiating a wedding for a lovely pair of couch surfers, and using expiring frequent flyer miles to fly to Vegas by myself is a quick snapshot of who I am. PHILOSOPHY "As I see it, there are two kinds of people in this world; people who love delis and people you shouldn't associate with." ~ Damon Runyan “Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people.” ~George Washington For Host Request: If your request to stay is rejected, it is because you have little information on your profile or you sent me a request without reading my "My Home" section or I simply can’t host you. If you have 'no references' it is okay to send me a request because I have hosted awesome people from around the world with 0 references. My place is not your $0 AIRBNB. If you are looking to just shower and sleep, I will know. I have read a lot of requests. So do not waste either of our time to send me the request.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like to meet new people when I'm in a new city. When I have the time, I like to show tourists the "not Times Square" real New York City and also host when I can. I go to private parties with my friends that cost $0 (art, fashion, music) and like to invite people as I usually get an extra ticket. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I officiated the wedding of a couple on New Year's Day 2014 who met on this website in Israel. The wedding was at Grand Central Terminal. 100 tourists surrounded us and thought the couple was famous and snapping photos of all of us.
