I'm Jake. I live in Brooklyn, NYC. By night, I'm your friendly neighborhood bartender. I love running around the beautiful City of New York, experiencing all walks of life and culture. My friends and I love to go out and eat, drink, play, get into some trouble, meet new people, and experience life outside the norm.

It's super weird to talk about yourself so shoot me a message and lets chat. Peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to explore the world, meet amazing individuals, and experience culture. I don't want to travel around and stay in hotels. Obviously, every once in a while is nice, but I want to stay with locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me about them :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn different languages. From working in restaurants in NYC, I can speak bits and pieces of Spanish, but it's mostly slang. I also want to learn from people who've had wildly different life experiences. I love hearing and sharing stories.

I can teach you some guitar! I taught guitar in my teenage years, and still have a knack for it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and make you an excellent cocktail. Share a book or a record with you. Be an excellent companion on a night out. Most importantly, I will respect your home as your temple.
