I'm a "tree-hugger" currently residing in the concrete jungle of NYC. I've lived in the city for 7 years - 4 as a student and 3 as a semi-functioning adult (maybe now fully functioning?) - and I'm happy to say I still love it. There's always so much to do or see. But when I need my nature fix I head to a park, a farmers' market, or up to my rural hometown in upstate NY.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and experience new things, and Couchsurfing will enable me to more easily explore more places, while also meeting new people. Even with the abundance of online resources it can be hard to decide where to go and what to see when visiting a new place, especially if you're an indecisive person like me. It's always much nicer to have a local to serve as a sort of guidebook. I'm hoping that I can get some great tips and recommendations from my hosts and learn things about them and their city.

Music, Movies, and Books

My latest bookshelf additions include books by my favorite comedians/actors, modern fiction, and non-fiction books about dinosaurs.

I will listen to any variety of music and probably enjoy it, especially if you can dance to it.

I love bad romantic comedies, good romantic comedies, regular comedies, dramas, mysteries, studio ghibli animation movies, and more.
