I live in Brooklyn New York, and I work in Manhattan making web software. I'm also a drummer in an Afro-Brazilian samba reggae band and we play lots of street parades ad festivals around the city.
My primary mode of transport is bicycle and I ride over the Manhattan Bridge with spectacular views twice a day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel on my own but love meeting people who are interested in meeting new people and sharing their experience of whats it's like to live in these other places.
I love to show people my city! It's the most diverse place I've ever seen!
