I grew up on the east coast of the United States, where I went to school and now currently live in Brooklyn and work in film and TV productions. I love traveling and learning about new cultures and connecting with people from other backgrounds. I try to be a creative person through different avenues and approaches, and seeing new perspectives and insights in world-views by talking to someone new will never cease to inspire me... I am easygoing and interested in learning from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first gave couch-surfing a try when I traveled Vietnam in 2019. There, I was able to meet, travel, and work with locals who opened up a whole different world for me.
