I’m a singer songwriter based in NYC. I found CS when I was traveling around Europe and doing street music. Now I live in one spot and would like to host if and when I can! It’s important to me to foster a safe space for travelers (and to host travelers who will do the same). I have roommates so will need to follow up with them about any potential hosting, everyone is super cool, the household is all musicians in different scenes and bands in NYC. Very sweet and talented people :)

I live in Queens, about a 30 minute trip to Manhattan. There’s incredible food and nightlife in my area. Our house is spacious enough to host on our couch. Unfortunately I don’t have spare keys so we’d have to coordinate around that.

I value respect of my home above all else from travelers — leaving the space as you left it, etc. I don’t expect anything from travelers in return apart from that. My home is your home

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meeting locals is a great way to learn about a new city
