Hi! My name is Akiva, I am 22 years old and love to travel. To me, traveling is about getting to know a new community and making connections with people all over the world. Currently, I am trying to see more of the United States because I haven't really travelled around here a lot.

I play guitar and have a passion for music, chess, photography, and painting.

I work at a tea shop and love when I make a perfectly brewed tea!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel on the cheap and meet like-minded individuals along the way! There's no better way to get to know a place than the people living there :)

Its great being a host and showing people around the cooler parts of New Brunswick. For the most part, people outside of New Jersey don't have a good image of it but it has mountains, the ocean, great food and an awesome underground music scene!

Interests

Reading, writing, bike riding, kayaking, hiking, camping, using my new ENO for hammock-style camping, reading poetry at open mics, checking out local music, traveling, and cooking.
