I was working on the trading floor of a bank in NYC but recently decided to quit that lifestyle and follow my heart by booking a one way ticket to Asia to explore the lands and cultures of this part of the eastern hemisphere

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite aspects of traveling is meeting people - fellow travelers but locals especially. For me, it's the purest form of learning the local culture and making new friends and experiences. Once you make that connection, you'll continue to see that this truly is a small world where we are all more in common deep down than you think :)
