Hello! I'm originally from New York City, USA.

I'm not a vegetarian and I don't practice yoga. I'm not interested in astrology, nor do I enjoy swapping travel stories. Otherwise, I'm a fairly typical Couchsurfer. I like good conversation, cold beer, danceable music, moderate exercise, and spicy food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people, sleep on their couches, and have them sleep on my couches.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things are overrated.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to teach stuff about language. I'd like to learn how to play instruments better. I like sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me buy you a drink or take you out to dinner.
