I quit my job at the beginning of this year to take a sabbatical and slow travel. I was working for an international education non-profit helping students from other countries apply to study in the U.S. For the last three years, I have been living in Brooklyn, but am originally from the Washington D.C. area. I enjoy meeting authentic people, exploring new cultures, and gaining new perspectives.

Since I don't have many references on here yet, you can read some reviews on my Airbnb profile :P

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To make new connections and friends and learn more about the local perspective of places I travel to. The most meaningful part of travel is the people you meet...so why not live with them? ;)

I hope to host others when I have my own place :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Over 15 years I've lived in 13 different places with 40+ roommates. Maybe that's more interesting than amazing? I've also visited a minefield in Vietnam while working for a mine action non-profit.

教，学，和分享

I would be happy to share with you about the places I have travelled to and provide you with all the best recommendations (IMHO) :) I'm an expert on NYC in particular (I made it my part-time job to explore the city).

I also have a lot of written resources to share about finding the best flights, accommodations, unique opportunities etc.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Food, drinks, company, thoughtful conversation, yoga practice, pickleball (I travel with paddles).

If we get along well, hopefully we can meet up on future travels.
