Hello everyone!!! My name is Andy and I live in the great city of NYC!!!

I always dreamed of traveling ever since I was a little kid and for once, I have been able to do that in recent years. I have been forever grateful to have been able to travel and with the opportunity to travel, I love meeting new people as well. Not only do I love meeting people abroad, but I love meeting new people from all walks of life in NYC too!!!

While in NYC, I am currently a photographer and specifically Fashion Photography. I've loved fashion since I was 13, so it was natural as my life had progressed. Not only that, but I have a big interest in music, ceramics, cooking and coffee!

I haven't traveled much, but I have been to Paris and Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Naoshima). I've been to Japan twice thus far and love it. I had a very strong interest in the country and thus wanted to learn the language and travel there often. Actually, one of my favorite magazines is Popeye Magazine as it was why I started to learn Japanese. In the future, I'd love to travel to Denmark, Sweden, Thailand and England.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have to say getting my photography work published in a book.

Teach, Learn, Share

All three would be the best! I love teaching people new things whether it's language, culture and what I love. I love learning because us as human beings do not know everything yet, so there's always something new to learn. Lastly, sharing is the best because you can share what you're passionate about, how you're feeling and share experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lots of kindness, cooking and cultural exchange. They're all things I am passionate about, and I would like to share the things I love the most to people all over the world.
