CURRENT MISSION

visiting New York for a couple weeks -- no agenda besides visiting a few friends, walking around and getting to know the city. I want to see people's favorite street corners, rooftops, alleyways, dive bars, delis, basement shows, warehouse parties, lowbrow, highbrow, I wanna see it all...

ABOUT ME

I'm open, easygoing and a lover of people. I'm a Bay Area native, a writer, and I work at a public policy think tank. I've done a good bit of traveling in my life, but my preferred method of living is planting deep roots in one place for a long time and getting to know it really well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm looking for places to stay for a couple days while i visit New York. I'm willing to open my couch in the future once I get my own place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had great experiences with CS during a cross-country road trip in 2013. I've also been a host and a surfer outside of CS, hosting Austin co-opers at my house in Berkeley and surfing at the student co-ops in Santa Barbara, CA.
