About Me

HEY EVERYBODY! I'm a recent graduate currently traveling around Europe and getting my last dose of fun before I start working for real. I'm a born and bred New Yorker I'm energetic, friendly, polite, and love to just live life and have a good time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I mentioned before, I'm traveling around Europe for several months and while hostelling is great, meeting and spending time with locals is even more enriching. I can't wait to open my home to fellow couchsurfers when I return to the States.

Music, Movies, and Books

I live for music. I'm a jazz musician, so obviously jazz is a favorite of mine. Also rap, classic rock, and particular new wave like the Talking Heads, the Police, etc.

I'm not a huge movie person. The amount of "essential" movies I haven't seen is kind of embarrassing. Oh well.

I'm an avid reader when I have the time, i.e. when I'm not traveling. Some favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, P.G. Wodehouse, George Orwell, and George R.R. Martin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beating cancer. Ask me about it, it's one of my favorite topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have any questions about America, New York, or life there, I'm more than happy to entertain all queries. Although I've loved most of the new cities and countries I've ventured to recently, no place has affected me as much as New York still does. It really has a magic to it.

Also, I love talking about health, medicine, engineering, science, culture, politics, etc. I like to think that I'm well rounded haha.
