Things that come to mind first when I think of what would be helpful for the average couchsurfer to know about me:
- I moved to Jersey City last year.
- I'm okay with chatting, and I think there's probably something to learn in just about every conversation, but I often like to be doing something at the same time, like making food or walking around.
- I like walking. I like riding bikes even more. Waiting's not my favorite. When I'm driving, I sometimes plan elaborate routes through town to avoid traffic lights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think a community of people built on trust and mutual understanding is really cool, and it's even better when the result of that community is facilitating travel and cultural exchange.

Interests

Being alive, mostly. Also learning, and, like, going places. All of those things are interesting to me.

• dining
• walking
• traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe I shouldn't publicize this, but once I accidentally trafficked myself through Serbia. Whoops.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Food, usually. I like trying to make it, and I think it usually works out pretty well.
- A general, often-unassailable sense of humor and wonder.
