About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm a native New Yorker that's obsessed with traveling, but equally as obsessed with my city. Food is my everything.
If it's there, I'll do it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love being a part of a network of likeminded persons that appreciate the time honored traditions of taking in travelers and making them feel at home.
Interests
If I had all the time and money in the world here is exactly what I would do:
Travel the world. Eat delicious food. Learn as many languages as possible. Party in every city. Write about it.
- dining
- cocktails
- running
- nightlife
- partying
- traveling
- hiking
- teaching
- languages
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: The Princess Bride, The Boondock Saints, Requiem for a Dream, Big Trouble in Little China, Battle Royale
Music: a little bit of everything, but lately, a lot of house and electronic, although I will always love rap and hip-hop.
Books: anything by Chuck Palahniuck, Brett Easton Ellis, or Murakami. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The Little Prince.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quit my job to travel the world in 2013 and haven't paid rent since.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am not much of a scholar or specialist with marketable skills to offer, but I know all the flags and capitals of every country in the world? I'm also willing to help anyone interested in learning English, as a native speaker, not a professional teacher. And I make some delicious cocktails.
