Live in the Metropolitan NY area and work with a government agency to promote the preservation and accessibility of local history.

I am an archivist by trade and a historian by academic pursuits. I am a curious person who loves to try new things and have fun.

I am from a half immigrant/half New York Italian family so I'm a skilled talker (unable to whisper though, sorry) and I know how to have a good time.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I have heard great things about couchsurfing from friends and family that feels like it would fit how I would prefer to travel.

I am not a shy person by any means, however, when I travel alone it does take a bit longer for me to break out and interact with folks in a way that interferes with having a full fledged experience

I would love to host one day as well!

Huge Radiohead fan and I have my car radio set to 105.9 WQRX ( a classical station).

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I love to cook my specialties are Italian dishes, however, i love following a recipe or simply helping prep a meal.

I also can help hosts preserve family heirlooms, photographs, and important documents and assist with salvaging these items after a unexpected disaster.

I can also work with folks on how to conduct oral history interviews with family/community members.
