About Me

Hello fellow CSers! I am a native New Yorker, and spend the majority of my free time doing all sorts of random things, like sketching, playing music, writing, reading, exploring, hiking, camping, and of course, meeting new and old friends! Huge museum and book nerd, and have a deep love for architecture and nature. You can always catch me on the best hiking spots in your area, or just walking aimlessly around your city. I've just come off a 3 month trip around the USA and Europe. I've met so many interesting people through couchsurfer, and want to use this opportunity now that I'm back in my hometown to pay it forward!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m new to this app, and find it fascinating that something like this even exists. I would love the opportunity to meet new people from all around the world. Hotels just don’t do it for me, I’ll gladly swap a pool for some friendly conversation. I've mostly only used this app for the hangout section, but I intend to swap couch surfing privileges in the near future!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Scarface, Harry Potter, game of thrones, West world, lord of the rings, Marvel movies in general. I know, I need to step up my movie game...

Music: honestly, there isn’t a single genre of music that I don’t enjoy. I guess the music I listen to most would be Hip-Hop, Progressive House, Classical, and Metal. Lately I’ve been on a folk Italian tear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a barefoot 5 hour hike on a mud-filled trail in Thailand, risking my life with every step (spoiler: I made it)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to help cook, clean, carpool, and more than open to chat with any welcoming hosts. (Warning: I’m not the best cook, but I’m learning!) I’m not a terrible guitar player if you want to learn, and can teach you all about civil engineering and architecture!
