Hello! My name's David and I live in Brooklyn, NY and I work in rapid transit. I'm also pursuing a master's degree in urban planning, and love to hike, ski, garden and make connections. I’m gay and enjoy connecting with other gay men and attending pride events, especially gay ski weeks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just looking to host visitors to NYC and to meet and stay with locals when I get the chance to travel more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a big opera fan and attend the Metropolitan Opera regularly. I don’t go to the movies that often and am focused on grad school instead of pleasure reading, to be honest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in South Africa and had a powerful experience there which led me to pursue urban planning as a career. I spent time in the cities and countryside, hiked the Otter Trail, saw ancient cave paintings, went on safari and so much more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use public transportation to get around New York City, including the subway and bus systems. I can tell you about the opera and be your guide to the Met, one of the greatest opera houses in the world. I speak English and some Spanish and enjoy learning other languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy a good conversation, I’m curious, empathetic, and have a great sense of humor. I'm happy to help in the garden, reach the tall things on the shelf, join you on the slopes or pet your dog. 🐶
