About Me

Explorer, Athlete, Architect, Mountaineer and Trail runner.

I grew up in New York City and New Jersey; this is where I work and live, respectively, when I’m not traveling.

I have a career in NYC as a preservation architect working on historic buildings, as well as international involvement in cultural heritage conservation and exterior restoration in South America.

Trail running and mountaineering are my other passions, which I’ve enjoyed throughout NJ, NY, and the Andes Mountains.

*Bonus: Seasoned Duck-Duck-Goose player 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel, meeting/sharing with new interesting people, and the love for continuous learning and growth.

Interests

Continuing my work in HISTORIC PRESERVATION & CULTURAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION in South America.

MOUNTAINEERING expeditions in the Andes Mountains while indulging in food adventures and sharing spontaneous/exciting moments with positive like-minded people.

I love my career, cooking, learning to sail, classical architecture🏛, and every aspect of nature.

I EMBRACE CHANGE and GROWTH, professionally and SPIRITUALLY, but also perceive LIFE as a big playground 😜

Sound body...sound mind.
