In the past few years I've visited 56 countries and 45 states.

Since I started traveling, I've done some pretty cool things around the world such as: teaching photography at a summer camp in Israel, beach hopping on the Turquoise Coast in Turkey, celebrating Songkran on a small island in Thailand, hitchhiking to waterfalls in Bosnia, staying at a hostel on a mountain in Colombia, etc.

I recently moved back to New York after living in Florida, California and Turkey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to meet other travelers, of course!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a few favorite bands that I've seen quite a few times. Music is important to me and mostly I listen to folk and pop music. A few of my favorites are:

The Rocket Summer, Jukebox the Ghost, Frank Turner, Green Day, Men Without Hats, The Killers, and The Head and The Heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2014, I sold my car and took off on a one way flight across the world to Turkey. I had a friend of a friend picking me up at the airport, but other than that I didn't know too much about the country. That trip ended up lasting 4 months, and opened my eyes to traveling. Since then I've been going non-stop, and have no plans of settling down any time in the near future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to cook. I eat out way too much and need some quick tips on eating healthy and preparing quick dishes.

In return I can share with you a wealth of great musicians you might love. I've been told by friends that I'm a music guru. Always looking to share the love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I'm pretty okay at photography and can get some good portraits of you.
