I’m currently taking a sabbatical from my job as a consultant from New York City. I’m trying to rebalance my life and explore new places to get a new perspective and spend more time doing things I love like meeting people and trying new things. I’m new to couchsurfing and heard from some friends it’s a great way to meet people and experience a city in a unique way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet people to explore new places with and to stay people aside from in Airbnb’s and Hostels while I’m traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music, and what I listen to depends on my mood and different suggestions from Spotify. I’m a fan of going to see artists perform live.

For movies, anything that’s not scary or gory is fair game.

I’m a huge nerd so tend to prefer nonfiction when I have the time to read 🤓

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went completely out of my comfort zone and lived in rural India for a few months in my early 20s.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - happy to help practice English, practice/teach tennis
Learn - new languages (French, Italian and Cantonese in particular), anything and everything about the place I’m in, good jokes
Share - travel stories, life lessons, new ideas

What I Can Share with Hosts
