Hey all! I'm new Couch Surfing and I don't know a ton about it. I was reading an article, Iceland on a Budget, and the writer suggested Couch Surfing as a means to meet the locals of Iceland and save some money. So here I am!

A bit about me. I love to travel! My major in college was Anthropology so when I do travel I love to meet the locals, and learn more about them and their lifestyle. I'm heavy into photography, I shoot in both digital and film. And I'm a born and bred New Yorker, I've only lived in NYC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly to meet with the locals of the areas I'm traveling too. Secondly, I like to travel but I'm not rich lol so this seems to be cost effective and fiscally responsible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not much of a teacher but I do enjoy theological and philosophical discussions. These sorts of conversations present opportunity to learn and teach.

I do enjoy sharing stories of my childhood, what it was like growing up in New York City, and talking about how much the city has changed from the time I was a kid to now.
