I do not host people without references. Sorry. Also, please note that Buffalo is 7 hours away from NYC!

I'm very familiar with the Buffalo area and can recommend great restaurants, parks, bars, museums, festivals, etc. I love getting to know people from different cultures and talk to them about their travels.

My house is on the border of North Buffalo and Kenmore so it's about a 25 minute drive to Niagara Falls, 10 minutes from Downtown Buffalo, 10 minutes from Elmwood village/Allentown, and 20 minutes from the Walden Galleria Mall (there are other malls that are much closer but that seems to be the mall people want to visit).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been my experience that the best way to get to know a new location is through locals and people who have lived in the area for a while. I figure this site is a great way to not only travel but to allow others to travel by having them stay with me.

Interests

Hiking, animals, good vegetarian food, law, ancient civilizations, canoeing, music, being in forest area, and more. There really isn't much I'm not interested in honestly, but those are some key points.
