I'm a laid-back native New Yorker now living in San Francisco, working at a design consultancy. I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures (and regional food!) and spending time outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started when traveling solo to meet locals and get a more authentic experience and it’s been an amazing resource. I’ve had such incredible experiences and met some wonderful people.

Interests

Traveling! culinary adventures, yoga, photography and the arts, concerts (especially the outdoor variety), camping, hiking, spending time with friends and making new ones, I'm starting to learn to surf, but no good yet–still figuring out timing and how to read waves.

Happy to help with English too!
