About Me

New Yorker looking to explore the world.

I love meeting new people, traveling and experiencing new things.

I'm currently in Spain working as a cultural ambassador. I grew up in New York.

After living for 6 years in the Big Apple, decided to quit the rat race and bicycle across the country. I decided relocating on the opposite coast (aka West Coast) was in my future.

I was presented with the opportunity to work and live in Spain and here I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling and seeing new places. I've found that I enjoy a more personal experience that I gain from meeting people living in the area I'm staying in, rather than seeing a place and then going to a hotel room.
