ABOUT ME

Native New Yorker, adopted Chicagoan, recently returned from a year living in India, international relations MA, human rights advocate, hopelessly addicted to travel. New places, old books, cold beer, iced coffee, tasty food and good conversations are what keep me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share new experiences and make new friends all over the world.
