I value learning and traveling to foreign places above most things. I live in NYC and work as a chemistry professor and a freelance science tutor. I've worked with kids young as 5 through 55 year old adults going back to college. I love to bicycle, cook and spend time outdoors. I write poetry and read a lot of different philosophical writings. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio but have lived in NYC since 2013

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's awesome to connect with someone else who is able to host you and share their perspective of life. It's even more awesome when I'm able to host others and share Brooklyn/NYC with them.
