By day I investigate human rights violations. By night I bake bagels, sing songs and attempt (poorly) to learn the acoustic guitar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because who wants to stay a generic hotel room? To quote Dr. Seuss "Oh, the places you'll go!" and of course, "the people you'll meet."

Also, I apologize for not accepting guests. While I would like to have the couchsurf experience, and plan to one day reciprocate by hosting, I currently live in a New York city loft with two roommates, and for those who live in New York City - you'll know that space is a premium.

Music, Movies, and Books

My curiosity about other people's music, movie and literature interests knows no bounds. Show me your music, wax lyrical about your favorite novels, and regale me with quotes from your favorite movies.

As for me, I can return the favor with a passion for folk, bluegrass, and all things acoustic. As for books, Love in the Time of Cholera ( book) is one of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped onto a moving train.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a singing voice, and fingers for a piano or keyboard. I can teach you how to bake challah bread and bagels. You name it, I'll probably want to learn it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An excellent gourmet meal consisting of any Indian dish - your choice. Just point me in the direction of the grocery store.
