I love to travel, see the sights, and taste the foods of the world. I'm a production and sales manager for an arts and photography book publisher, I published a cookbook of my own last year, and I have another one coming out at the end of this year. I also do occasional freelance interviews and lifestyle articles for magazines.

I'm gay, so please don't request to stay with me if you're homophobic in any way. And you probably won't be enjoying New York City very much anyway. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I once took an 8-week trip through Europe and I couchsurfed my way through 27 locations, meeting so many amazing people everywhere I went. It was one of the most impactful experiences of my life, learning from such a variety of people, many of whom are now true friends. I want to continue learning from others and sharing cultures by hosting in New York when possible and staying with others when I travel again in the future.

Please prove you've read my profile. If there's nothing in your request that proves this, I'll have to decline you. :(
