CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I hate writing these but...
currently BK livin' in the one and only Brooklyn NY. I love love love it here and living here keeps life ever interesting. I work during the week, sometimes a lot, some times not so much, but lately its been more of the former. I do quite enjoy my job and follow the nyc work hard play hard. When I'm not working or exploring random divey bars of the 5 boroughs, I'm usually riding a bicycle or doing something outside like volleyball, camping, borrowing dogs, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to host people when my schedule allows it as it is a fun way to meet new and interesting people from far and near and show them the ins & outs of NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up a few months ago and have hosted a bunch of fun people from all over. I've couchsurfed in Japan and in the USA.
Now heading to Colombia for some more.

Interests

lots of stuff and they are always changing. but for now classy bicycles, craft beers (including brewing my own), volleyball, live music, photography, scary bathrooms, accidental art, ironic glasses all occupy my time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once in a one-sided sword fight in Safranbolu Turkey. I didn't have a sword, nor did I know I was even being attacked and I narrowly escaped with my head intact.
