Overview
About Me
A lover of food, travel, art (paint/sculpt) and cars.
***Please DO NOT request to stay with me on the same day you intend to come. That makes no sense and is inconsiderate of your host. Hosting isn't a peice of cake, people have things to do, places to go and plans for themselves. So please allow your host to plan and prepare for your arrival. My definition of 'Last-minute' is 48-72 hours before, so if you're going to make a last minute request please send it 2-3 BEFORE arrival. Otherwise, I strongly encourage you request 5 days - 1/2/3 week before. A lastminute request sent on the same day will automatically be declined (unless it's critical emergency), nothing personal, just how I do things. Also CS is horrible at sending me notifications (at least me for), so please put your medium of communication in your FIRST request message, so we can communicate quicker and efficiently. I prefer WhatsApp or Instagram***
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm couch-surfing because I love to travel and I personally believe traveling can cure ignorance and many other things. Traveling opens your eyes, and gives you the front row seat to this magically and elusive show called the Life. I hope to open my doors to the open minded and hope to experience the same.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make basic sketches and drawing tricks. If you're ever in the New York area, I can give a tour of the city. I can show would the best art spots in the area too. Good music, movie recommendations.
I would like to learn about culture, not the cliche "culture" but REAL Culture (with a capital C). About what makes you YOU? And why people do the things they do, the beauty of humanity and traveling itself. Before I leave any place I want to find a myself in that culture and that culture in me.
