I’m a part-time fiction writer and full-time English teacher in Brooklyn, New York traveling the world summer to summer. Whether I’m in NYC or across the globe what I like to do is the same: meet new people, socialize, eat, spend time in nature, and learn whatever is offered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Backpacking in hostels is great, but it is its own culture. With Couchsurfing, I’m able to get closer to the people, place, and culture of where I’m traveling. Those are the relationships I value most.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a reader, I often think about what it means to be human. Traveling reminds me that each culture is an answer to that question, and by understanding each answer, my own becomes more full. Each person and place I encounter is a piece of a greater understanding, and by learning from one another we can live in more fulfilling ways.
