SEPTEMBER 2023 UPDATE: I am traveling full-time for the foreseeable future and do not expect to be able to host until next summer at the earliest.

I run a tutoring business out of my home in NYC.

I'm planning a 2-3 month Eurail trip through Europe later this year, so I am especially interested in hosting people who would be interested in returning the favor by hosting me :)

A few things to know:
-I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in a doorman building in South Harlem, a few blocks north of Central Park. See the "my home" section for transit information.
-If you don't address me by name and get the city and dates correct in your request, there's a very good chance I'll deny you. I don't mind a cut and paste message, but you MUST have that information. Please also include the word LAMBDA so I know that you've read this.
-I am pretty flexible in general, but I will not host anyone who has a flight/train/bus scheduled to arrive after 8PM. I will also need you to vacate the apartment during weekdays (8:30AM-5:30PM), except in rare circumstances.
-Couchsurfing is not a hotel service. I strongly prefer to host people who are primarily visiting to explore the city. If you're in town for a conference, please look elsewhere. If you really can't find anything else, feel free to reach out, but you must state this in your request in order for me to consider you.
-My job is very demanding, and it's unlikely that I'll be able to join you in any activities during the week. Please be aware of that.
-LGBTQ+ friendly
-I have a small dog named Simba. He's very friendly!

I look forward to hearing your thoughtful request, and hopefully hosting you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people when traveling (as well as hosting travelers in my home when possible), and have found that Couchsurfing is a great way to do this.
