I live in Astoria, Queens. I live by myself. My apartment is a 12-minute walk to the subway, and it will take 10 mins to get into Manhattan from my stop.

I was born in New York City but grew up in Ft. Lauderdale. I am outgoing, friendly and honest. I think I am an interesting balance of a small-town guy with city-boy edge. But I am definitely nerdy -- I read comic books, play video games and find learning new things exciting. I enjoy cooking/baking and singing karaoke.

General stuff:
1) Please have more than 1 picture on your profile
2) If you are traveling with a friend, please include their profile and name (if they don't have a CS profile, include their Facebook / Instagram profile)
3) If your profile is not filled out, I will not accept your request
4) My apartment is a 10-minute train ride to Manhattan
5) I love hugs!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Please understand that by choosing to host you, I am giving you part of my time, part of my apartment and privacy. I expect to be treated more than just a "free bed" because couchsurfing is about the experience and meeting new people!

Now with that being said, I love hosting people and making new friends. I am still in contact with some of the people that I hosted. And most likely, I will visit your country/state and would love to catch up with you over a glass of wine or beer.

Intereses

I enjoy watching TV shows on Hulu and Netflix. I like to cook and bake; I am always experimenting with a new recipe. I love singing karaoke...I am not great, but I am not bad either.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I hiked the Inca Trail a few years ago. It took 3.5 days! The altitude was hard for me, but not as hard as not being able to shower for 3 days.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love learning new things. I love sharing my culture and my insider secrets to New York City.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

When I first moved to New York City, I stayed with a couple that I met from church. I cooked and cleaned for them in return for their hospitality in giving me a place to sleep.
