I'm a writer and composer living in the Hudson Valley, just outside of New York City. Last summer I did a 3 month cross-country road trip, and this summer (2022) I'm doing a roadtrip to the Rocky Mountain states.

I grew up in Virginia, and have also lived in Boston, San Francisco, and Washington DC. Overseas, I spent a few months in in Brussels, and lived in Salzburg (Austria) for a year. Love to travel, explore new places and meet new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet locals when I'm traveling to new places.
