I’m from New York, lived in Shanghai for 6 years, and am now back in New York. I’m a freelance journalist and travel finding stories to tell. I love meeting new people and exploring wherever I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for new people to meet and share experiences with during my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a weakness for spy thrillers. Read tons of fiction. Daily reader of The Guardian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked out of a cemetery in a monsoon in Singapore; hitchhiked back at night from an accidental visit to Pablo Escobar’s former home in Bogota.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can reach you to ride a bike and how to order food in Chinese. Happy to practice Spanish, English, or Chinese.
