Just your average Buffalo-born, California-bred Millennial! I live in Buffalo, NY and would like to get to know people from all over the world.

Growing up in Los Angeles I had the chance to engage with many people from around the world and it was a beautiful experience that has continued in Buffalo as it becomes more and more diverse.

I love learning about cultures and languages, and I am very interested in experiencing what the world has to offer.

I enjoy cinema very much, as well as the performing arts. Museums and historical sites are my favorite places to explore, along with the great outdoors.

While my kitchen is *tiny*, it gets the job done and I would enjoy exchanging culinary experiences too! With the caveat that I am a vegetarian - no meat for me.

I am a very open, honest, and curious person, and I am looking to host people who are the same. I am gay so if you are not able to accept that, I'm not your ideal host, no worries! That being said, I don't think it should matter as I'm looking to get to know people and experience my city with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with my fellow citizens of the world and share positive experiences together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music ranging from jazz, 90s r&b to metal, classic rock, and boleros. I love opera and classical music as well. I'm pretty open!

My favorite films tend to be made during the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood, from the 30s to 50s, although the 40s seem to be my favorite. I also love world cinema including Almodovar, Lean, Powell and Pressburger, Renoir, Truffaut, Ozu, and all the other usual suspects.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cappadocia in Turkey has to be the most stunning place I've seen.
