CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people

ABOUT ME

Friendly. Mild-mannered. Can be eccentric and silly. I like going out and seeing new things. Enjoy meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

hmmm... life is too short to waste on mediocre things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, but am right now trapped in a very expensive city in a low paying job.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none, but i'm looking to change that.

Interests

Film, books, philosophical discussions, going out to clubs (I need people to go with). I like walking around places at two in the morning, hanging out in Union Square when I should be asleep.
