Haven't used couchsurfing yet-- looking forward to finally making use of this cool resource! I'm super active, stay out and about, and love to get a feel for the lifestyle where I'm at. Currently exploring West Coast cities to feel out if I should move here.

I tend to dive deep into conceptual questions fast but also like to exchange tips on things to do in places we've been. I'm a writer in advertising, journalism, and essays... I'm looking to learn photography and video editing. I'm excited about design thinking and I've been in Boston's startup scene for a few years. Fitness is a core part of my life and I love being in warm environments where you can workout outside.

When I'm in a city, I get out and explore different neighborhoods, gyms, and sub-cultures. I'd love any advice you may have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a great, cost-effective way to travel, get the inside scoop on new places from locals, and meet interesting people I'd otherwise never meet, while helping others do the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... don't know if it's "amazing" but I learned some breakdancing in my life thus far and... let's see... I tend to go on impulse trips, like I'm probably on an impromptu trip right now...

Teach, Learn, Share

Hard workouts.
Dance.
I'm also good at writing, brand storytelling, and creating galvanizing content in general.

Perspective. Good vibes. Dance skills. I can teach you some Russian if you want, too :) Am looking to practice my Spanish (and my Russian).
