Native New Yorker who caught the travel bug and has been living abroad for 10 years. Sometimes traveling with my Czech partner Ondrej. I love wandering new cities without a plan, coffee shop-hopping, and learning new languages 🗺

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals makes you more than a tourist- you can experience the true atmosphere of a place through the people that live it and love it. I enjoy sharing travel stories and discovering what you're passionate about! P.S. Pet-friendly, loves cats 🐈

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Conquered my fear of heights by learning to ski and boulder as an adult.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share: I make really good chickpea stew, oat flour pancakes, baked ziti, and banana bread.
Learn: I didn't grow up around nature. I love learning nature skills like hiking, camping, and gardening.
