Hello - I am a Physical Therapist and a native New Yorker with a passion for travel, food (admittedly not the best chef) and people! I have lived in places including South Africa and Ecuador, and just enjoy meeting new people who are willing to exchange cultures. I look forward to crossing paths on our future travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing reminds us that no matter our differences, we're sharing the same world.
I hope to get a more local experience through CS!
