About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Los Angeles, went to school in Connecticut, lived in Miami for a few months, New York City for two years and now find myself working as a journalist in Atlanta.

I'm easy-going and am always trying to arrange epic experiences for my friends and I. Usually this means going to concerts but I also love to go to sports games. Soccer (a.k.a. football) is my favorite sport.

I love to read: newspapers, magazines, books, everything!

PHILOSOPHY

I studied history, a subject I believe can teach us so much about our future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2012 I used CS to travel throughout Poland and Ukraine during Euro 2012. It was a truly amazing trip.

Since then, I had three great experiences hosting guests when I lived in Miami.

Interests

I love to go out at night and have a good time, but during the day I also really enjoy walking discovering new places in the city I am in. I especially like art museums.

Hobbies of mine include chess, photography, and art history.
