I grew up on the East Coast (New England and Mid-Atlantic), attended college in the Midwest, and lived for a year in the Southwest. Currently, I'm attempting to travel through Hawaii, and am interested in going to Latin America/ Europe within the next 6 months. I'm used to going on mini camping and backpacking trips over the weekends, but this is the first time I'm turning traveling into a lifestyle! Since I basically grew up right next to all the major cities in the Northeast U.S., I am hoping that traveling will help me become a slightly chiller person. Not that I'm not proud of New York!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling alone can be boring and expensive. So why not make it more fun and less expensive? I am happy to help you out with anything you need - cleaning, cooking, and keeping you company. Wherever I move or travel next, you are always welcome to join me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a jack of all trades with regards to anything academic you might have an interest in. My specialties are writing and editing (majored in English). I also have experience with graphic design (Adobe Photoshop), entrepreneurship (Etsy, Amazon, basic marketing, SEO), computer science (HTML/ CSS, JavaScript), math/ stats/ calc (majored in econ), film and literary analysis, and music (piano, music theory). If you are looking for some creative ideas about starting a business, writing a novel, or answering a question for school, I can help!

What I Can Share with Hosts
