As a volunteer, I've created a program for the New York Public Library and NYC Parks and Rec where I take New Yorkers and visitors on free historical adventures throughout the city. I'm able to obtain special permission to take people into places that are normally not open to the public! By making learning history fun and interesting, I've amassed a group of over 1,000 people who want to explore and learn more (very rewarding to me). We've been through all five boroughs, Philadelphia, Princeton and Edison, NJ so far.

I joined couchsurfing so that I can do research in the cities that my groups would like to go to and would appreciate the opportunity to do so!

As part of my research, I stay in different neighborhoods for 3-10 days each in my spare time so that I can learn the culture and history. I've stayed in 30 different neighborhoods so far!
