I grew up in Connecticut, went to university and graduate school in Boston and now I live in NYC. I work in book publishing and am constantly reading. I love to travel, but I don't do as much of it as I would like to. In addition to reading I also love hiking, music, movies, and exploring New York City.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I love to travel I have never utilized this website. I have heard great things about it and would love the chance to get to know more local people when I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went bungee jumping off of a bridge in Whistler, B.C. It was a last minute decision and it was so worth it. I was supposed to jump on 3 but I made him count to 7 instead.
