I grew up in New York, went to University in Berkeley, California, and now i’m back living in Brooklyn! I love to read, play music with friends, and spend time exploring the beauty and chaos of New York City. I studied politics and literature, I worked at an art museum and cinema, and I hope to see a future where human agency and compassion prevail.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the most ancient and sacred human customs is caring for travelers. As a traveler in Latin America, Asia, and Europe, I have benefited immensely from hospitality and kindness of total strangers. I hope to reciprocate this by hosting travelers in my home and helping them get to know New York, while also improving my ability to immerse myself in the unique culture and customs of the places I visit when I am on the road myself.
