About Me

I am a 24 year old artist who recently relocated to NYC. I travel a lot, but when I am in New York I blow glass on Long Island a few days a week. I recently found a glass studio in Manhattan and hope to shift some of my work hours to the city. I have been composing music most of my life, and I am currently trying to form a band to begin recording and performing this music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been couch-surfing for about 8 months, and I recently ran out of couches. I am here to make new friends, find new couches, and to continue my journey across the world, couch by couch. Over the last few years I have hosted many guests in my various apartments, but I am currently living without my own space full time, and relying on the generosity of others.

Interests

I am interested in art, film, and music. I love food (cooking and eating). I also love animals (specifically dogs).

I like to read Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, any of the beat poets, Be Here Now by Baba Ram Dass. I love film also. My favorite director is Wes Anderson.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook, clean, run errands, and perform other household chores. I also enjoy making people laugh. I can also provide financial compensation for long term housing.
