About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now that I'm done with my graduate studies I have more time to travel. Yay! I'm not able to host right now, but if you are coming to Boston and tell me a bit about yourself, I can give you some advice to help you have a wonderful visit. And if our schedules line up, maybe we can meet up.

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, energetic, and considerate. I enjoy meeting people. Since I was a kid, I've been interested in getting to know people from various cultures.

I grew up in a town next to Boston and have lived in Boston for the past dozen years. I enjoy traveling and showing visitors around town.

I'm looking to stay with someone who's responsible, upbeat, tidy, and a clear and pleasant communicator. I am good at entertaining myself, but it's nice to have an occasional meal together or do an activity together. I like a balance of quiet time and social time.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the world a better place. Think globally, act locally. Spread joy. May love prevail. Seize the day. Follow your passion. You get the idea ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a busy schedule with work and after-work events so it's difficult for me to host right now. However, I'm happy to answer questions for those visiting the Boston area and I am a great resource regarding things to do in and around Boston. I enjoy meeting people and showing visitors around town, so get in touch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most recently I stayed on an air mattress in an Arlington, VA apartment for three nights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am neat and considerate. I'll cook a meal or two. I'm great at organizing, if you want any help with that. I can teach you a little Latin dancing. I am a great tour guide for Boston and can give you tips to help make your stay great. While I'm not up for hosting right now due to my busy schedule, I am sometimes available to meet up.
