CURRENT MISSION

To move abroad

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the shadows of New York City in the U.S., residing now in Manhattan. I've spent the majority of my life here, with the exception of a few years when I lived in Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area. I love this city for what it is - a true melting pot of every culture in one area. That being said, I am looking for something new, and I am currently looking at opportunities to move abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

"At that time, they were teaching that there was absolutely no difference between anybody. They may be teaching that still."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"That it will never come again
is what makes life sweet."
-Emily Dickinson

"It is dangerous, these things and places inhabited by memory. It is as though, by a process of metempsychosis, the soul of dead events goes out and lodges itself in a house, a flower, a landscape, in a group of trees seen from the train against the skyline, an old snapshot, a broken pen-knife, a book, a perfume. In these memory-charged places, among these things haunted by the ghosts of dead days, one is tempted to brood too lovingly over the past, to live it again, more elaborately, more consciously, more beautifully and harmoniously, almost as though it were an imagined life in the future. Surrounded by these ghosts one can neglect the present in which one bodily lives."
-Aldous Huxley

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love listening to people speak. One of my favorite things in this life is stimulating conversation, conversation that, afterward, allows me to look at the world a little bit differently.

I plan to add my point of view to the CS experience, along with so many others'. I hope to do this by visiting many participants, and by hosting a few participants in NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met many amazing CSers during my travels, and so, I've had a lot of exposure to the process and philosophy. Right now work and other commitments are taking up much of my time, but I plan to participate more and more actively in CouchSurfing in the near future.
