I'm a student, born in a post-industrial town in the American Northeast, living in New York City, whose had a tantalizing taste of travel and has since developed a voracious and underserved appetite for it. I'm a writer with journalistic as well as ficitonal ambitions, and love to try/eat/drink new things and see new places. Other than that, I try as hard as I can to be humble, inquisitive and compassionate to everyone I meet and so far it's been doing me nothing but favors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The last time I was at a hotel I stubbed my toe on the bedframe and cried for six days.

I also love to meet people and have authentic experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once flicked a pistachio shell roughly 20 yards down a hill, under a pavilion roof, and into a trashcan on the far corner.
