The most important things to know about me are that (1) I am very funny and (2) I think I am very funny.

I've loved to travel for a long time now, but the longer I live in New York, the more my travels become about nature and less about city life. The constant, though, has always been about meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing when I went to travel on my own in Iceland and was met with unbelievable hospitality -- it still seems like the best way to meet cool people and see an area from locals' points of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite trip was my first hitchhiking experience, zig-zagging down the west coast of the US with a good friend. It was the first time traveling I really dropped all expectations for a trip and opened up to whatever came; an awesome way to meet cool, generous people and have new, unexpected adventures. It only lasted ten days but we had twenty rides and twenty very different stories.
