ABOUT ME

I grew up in Portland, Maine, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I lived in Boston for a bit, and then headed down to NYC. I've lived here for the past five years, and have really enjoyed it. I went to school at the New School for Environmental Science and Poetry. Now that I'm a graduate, I work at a great thrift store in Brooklyn. I also started a literature and arts journal with some friends, and I make music. Other than that, I spend my time exploring New York's parks and hidden gems.

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule, always.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed around the east coast a bit, and my girlfriend hosts people regularly so I have gotten to know a lot of great couch surfers. It's been wonderful to meet so many adventurous travelers.
