Hi! I’m exploring more of the U.S. and meeting great people along the way.

City kid at heart, now making up for lost time by getting out to new places and saying yes to experiences.

First time on a platform like this, so I’m coming with good energy, clear communication, and lots of gratitude. I’m respectful of space, tidy, and happy to help with errands, dishes, or a coffee run. Looking forward to awesome memories and new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have more adventures to write about: To meet locals, learn a place beyond the tourist layer, and pay it forward when I can host.

Music, Movies, and Books

Art
Lately I’ve been deep in NYC galleries and the art scene—learning, decompressing, and enjoying what others create. Always down to swap favorite shows or check out a local museum.

Books
Currently reading The Power Broker by Robert Caro. I’m on a biographies kick—love big stories about how cities and people get built.

Movies
I don’t watch as many movies these days, but I’m full of references and quotes in daily life. If you’ve got a favorite, I’m all ears for a recommendation night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a self-driving car before it was a thing. Long nights, lots of duct-tape prototyping, and a huge lesson in patience, safety, and teamwork. Even tried going toe-to-toe with Google in regards to the legaslation around it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: basic tech setup and phone/computer tune-ups, simple strength/mobility routine, how to plan great city walks or museum routes, and productivity/job-search tips if helpful.

Learn: your favorite local spots, a home recipe from your culture, a few phrases in your language, and any neighborhood history.

Share: good conversation, groceries/coffee, help with dishes/errands, and respect for your home and routines.
