About Me

Hi! I live in New York City. I am a social person and love meeting new people. I really want to connect and share my experiences with like minded individuals and hope to make new (life long) friends along the way. I am adventures, I scuba dive, love food, dancing, shopping- whatever is available. I love experiencing new cultures and sharing ideas. You never know who'll you meet along the journey of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Couchsurfing because I have an amazing opportunity to travel alot this year and my opportunity isn't always congruent with my friends financial obligations - so I will be taking a lot of solo trips but I still want the opportunity to socialize and hang out with new folks. I read about couch surfing through Adventurous Kate's blog and decided that I should try it out!

Update as of July 2020- haven’t been here for a while but am interesting in meeting new people close by since travel is on pause because of the pandemic!
