About Me

Hi there! My name is Andrew and I'm originally from New York City, though I currently live in Boston. After studying creative writing and business, I've spent my career within the nonprofit sector, working in academia, an earth science museum, and (most recently) philanthropy. I'm a writer and reader at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be spending the month of September in France teaching English to a family in the suburbs of Paris. Though I will be living with them during this time, I will be traveling between Paris, Zurich, Italy, and Greece before and afterwards.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the Galapagos Islands!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to contribute to some collaborative cooking (my mom's Italian and has passed on some serious culinary knowledge). I'll help around the house, keep your place very clean, and take you out for a drink if you're interested. If you have a guitar, I can play you nice little tunes and pretend like I know how to sing.

Most importantly, I will respect your space, your home, and your time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua
