Hello!

I am an Elementary School teacher from New York living in Washington DC. Over the summers I work for an international student travel company. When I’m not working, I love going to concerts, reading, and of course traveling

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to experience a new place is through the eyes of a local. I'd love to meet new people and experience places with those who know the area well. I also love sharing my city and all of my favorite places with travelers!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my love of music, especially with those visiting NYC! I have lots of great smaller venues to recommend.

What I Can Share with Hosts
