Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have experience being the surfer. If given the opportunity I would be happy to host but at the moment the most I could do is meet up for coffee and chat about the city of NY.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but fantastic experiences thus far. I have been continuously amazed by everyone's open hearts. I love the conversations and experiences I have had with folks who would otherwise be strangers.

Interests

Most recently I have been researching neuroplasticity and trying to learn more about it.
Sometimes I like to look up youtube explanations of quantum physics.
