CURRENT MISSION

remember how to take my time, write more letters

ABOUT ME

I think the best reflection of my actions are the amazing friends and family I have that support me and experience my adventures through me and with me. I welcome new experiences and new people. I also hate writing about myself due to a bout of humility so I will end it there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to this organization, but their mission has been within me for years. As a New Yorker, I have met Danish, Irish, Australian, French, Spanish and other travelers who I have welcomed into my life and my circle of friends to allow them to experience the New York City that I adore. I think CS is on to something brilliant.
