I hail from New York's beautiful Hudson Valley region--grew up downstate and went to school upstate. I now live in DC, where I work in progressive politics, bike everywhere I can, read as much as I can absorb, and explore as often as possible. I'm empathetic, communicative, friendly, curious, dependable, and low-maintenance--an easy guest to host!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always looking to explore new cities at home and abroad, with impressions of new places so often shaped by the folks you come across along the way.
