*hosting short term in Milan out of our Airbnb until November 21 - usually based in New York

Native New Yorker, lover of travel and language, frequent obsessor of new hobbies. I've hosted a lot with my partner through his account, have met some fascinating travelers, we have also stayed with some dear people in Slovakia, Netherlands, Italy, etc.

I’m chill and mellow, I can read a room. I get bored of superficial chitchat, instead I enjoy a proper conversation and a proper party. Very open-minded with versatile interests. Ambivert

I work remotely in data/research. In my free time I explore music, read, walk, see art, game, watch films, pole dance, and do yoga

*Must* read about my home if you’re requesting a stay

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

amazing way to help others and meet people. traveling is a very important experience for growth, regardless of age, and I want to enable this for others.
