About Me

Easy-going almost-grown-up living in New York and working in media (New York Times)

BTW - sorry in advance if I don't get a chance to respond to all messages. I just started hosting again and was flooded with a lot of enquiries. I'm doing my best to get through them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started a nonprofit about helping and organizing people in the sharing economy, so it's something I'm passionate about. Plus it's fun and good karma.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Crazy awesome apartment on the 23rd floor of a brand new building in the Lower East Side, with a spare bedroom and beautiful kitchen overlooking the midtown skyline. I normally rent it on Airbnb but when it's empty I'm down to have the occasional couch surfer stay around.
