Hello fellow surfers!

My name is Massy; pronounced MAY-see. I am a native-born New Yorker.

I’m fully vaccinated and hoping to take advantage of COVID restrictions being lifted. I am planning to travel to Portugal in August if circumstances allow. I will be going solo and am hoping to meet some locals who would be willing to connect and share their culture with me.

I love to listen to live music, explore local art and museums, as well as local nature. I am also an ENORMOUS animal lover.

I believe to understand a nation and culture you really have to get to know some of its people. So i am hoping that with this, I get to meet some wonderful folks in any future places i visit.

Also, although my modest circumstances mean I do not have the physical space to host, I love to show travelers to New York City how spectacular it can be. So I would be thrilled to show you around my city if you ever find yourself here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
