Rochester, NY is about an 8 hour drive away from New York City, so if you're looking to visit NYC, please don't ask to stay with me.

Another quick caveat: my partner and I need at least a week's notice if you would like to couch surf with us.

I'm a graduate student who loves to travel! I have a Bachelor's degree in history and am currently studying mental health counseling at the University of Rochester. I have a car. I love riding bicycles and meeting new people. I also enjoy reading fiction and hunting down semi-obscure films to watch with my boyfriend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I would like to meet other travelors from around the world. I have stayed at youth hostels in the past in Spain, but I would like to save even more money when I travel.
