Hi! Born and raised in San Antonio, I made my way to Austin for college where I studied magazine journalism. Now I live in New York City, working at Oyster.com and TripAdvisor as a writer and photographer, where I get to combine my love of writing, travel, and photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love getting to meet new people while traveling! It's a nice way to be introduced to the city and get to know locals. Don't have too much experience with it, but have enjoyed it so far!

Interests

Writing, photography, live music, film, reading, TV, and hearing other people's stories (why I went into journalism). I also love comedy shows, coffee, card and board games, and people watching at parks in NYC.
