I strive to be open-minded, I am interested in new experiences, and finding new/different music, exploring cities, living amongst all walks of life. I'm currently working now, so making big trips is a bit tricky. But millions of travelers visit NYC, so hosting them is kind of like traveling, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Doing my best to host now given my availability. I like to see Couchsurfing not as taking advantage of people and their available space, but opening your mind up to listen to others' opinions and experiences through basic human interaction. Everyone has a different story.

I have also stayed with some very generous and wonderful hosts, and it would be nice to play my part, and do my best to return the favor.

Interests

I try to find something new to do each day. I love talking about science, film, music and ...food. I enjoy seeing how different cultures interpret each of these interests. There are so many perspectives in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls, rode a camel in the Israeli desert, ate iguana, went inside a dormant volcano.
