Grew up in New Jersey, love traveling and eating international food, techno/electronic/bass music parties, beautiful nature activities, exploring and adventuring...

Doing my PhD in New York, and often I am super super busy and stressed. So currently I will probably only host if I happen to have some free time on a last minute time frame. If i decline with no answer it just means I am very busy, please don't take offense!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people of course! Learn about their lives and share with them what my life is like.
Traveling hostels can be fun for sure, but sometimes they are too busy to find people to have a meaningful extended interaction with. With couchsurfing it's nice having a more personal experience. I try to stay in a mix between couchsurfing and hostels. Also you get to see a place from a different perspective, which is especially helpful in some of the places that don't immediately stand out with tons of things to do.
