I am rejoining CS after a pandemic hiatus- been on this platform for over 15 years so…. I live in the East Village in Manhattan- I don't normally host because I don't have an extra bed and my couch is very small- but you may request me if you don't mind sleeping on a floor!

I also work in diplomacy and political affairs at the United Nations. I do standup on the side.
