I am originally from New York🗽 and have worked/lived in 11 cities over the last 10 years across North America and East Asia. I had several careers. I ran two startups and currently a Vice President at a tech company with offices in US and Canada.

I value good fashion, food, and experiences. I make people I like laugh with my quirky sarcastic deadpan humor. I appreciate good communication and kind nature in others.

Please don’t sell me anything. My goal on CS is learning about different cultures, make friends and learn new languages. To create some moments during my travels with good intentions.

I plan to visit Mexico for a few months. Please let’s chat if you live or plan to travel to Monterey, Guadalajara or CDMX.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in September of 2023 out of curiosity to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost everything, lately it’s been 90’s hip hop and Latin music. I read a lot. I’ll watch a few tv shows but usually don’t finish any of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The work I do with charities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m currently learning Mandarin and Spanish. Looking for a swim coach or workout friend to try core focused exercises like calisthenics or pilates.

I can share tips traveling around New York City or any city I’ve lived in. Invite you to business/tech events and participate in some great volunteering programs. Offer a little advice on startups. Offer tips on job interviews and networking. I used to track race cars, ride motorcycles, play ping pong, squash, handball, softball, and box

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve never couch surf or hosted through CS but I have hosted visitors to NYC I met in passing. I receive many messages requesting without reading my profile. I am open to hosting to those I have talked to and feel we would get along. I am a private person and need trust to openly share my home.
