For me, life is all about balance. I am the very definition of a "work hard, play hard" kind-of person. When I'm not working my butt off helping build partnerships for one of New York's fastest-growing technology companies, I am taking trips or dancing to live music.

If my friends were to describe me they'd likely say I am a curious and passionate person. I am most in my element when I am learning or meeting new people, so travel is naturally a very important part of my life. Working in tech, I love to completely disconnect and get into nature. Hiking, camping, climbing, Yoga and music festivals are some of my favorite ways to kick back. Also a big fan of the arts and am equally into reading, writing, painting, cooking, visiting museums, checking out plays, concerts or stand-up comedy, and good conversation over wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On here to meet and be inspired by people from around the world... to make lifelong friends who seek to explore, and to return the favor for those visiting NYC =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a passport! Coming from a factory town in Toledo, OH, saving us the $ to travel was an achievement in and of itself! I have now been lucky enough to travel to Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Canada, Holland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
