About Me

43/195 countries visited 🤠
I'm in my twenties and on a mission to explore the world, one country at a time. I've been living in NYC all my life, work remotely/WFH in finance, and I am thankful for being able to travel to different countries since the pandemic started. I may have visited yours already, or maybe yours is next to visit on my list! I'm a semi-introvert, a big foodie, and very outdoorsy with nature, with hiking and biking being my top hobbies. I might be just another person in the city that never sleeps, but I'll do what I can to make your trip to NYC memorable. I'm very easy-going, believe communication is key, and organized.

October 2024 Update:
Only 2 months into hosting and I've received a flood of requests 🥲 I apologize if I respond with delays. I'd love for us to be a great fit and get along - Before reaching out to stay with me, please write a little bit about yourself and what brings you to NYC. If you haven't already, please press 'Read More' above to view the 'My Home' section of my profile along with the pictures.

Final upcoming trips for 2024:
- Late November: UK, Czech Republic, Portugal
- Late December: UAE & the Gulf regions

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm usually jamming to alternative, chill-hop, jazz, pop, rap, hiphop, rock, electronic and house music, but otherwise, it's usually podcasts on shuffle-play.
Sci-fi, comedy, horror, action, adventure, thriller and rom-com movie fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bullet-climbed (Up and down) Mount Fuji in less than 24 hours while in Japan on my first trip.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My apartment is a spacious 1 bed 1 bath. This is bigger than the other tiny nyc apartments. You will have a comfy couch in the living room to sleep. I have my own separate room. I may be available to meet up to show you around NYC if I am not working or after work. Bathroom included. Kitchen access is for coffee, sink, water, fridge and microwaving only. Ask me about discounted/free admission to tickets, shows, observatories, etc that I can get for you as a NYC resident.
