I love talking to strangers and seeing new places, playing with cameras, finding live music, and sharing travel stories. I'm always excited about an independent bookstore, a yarn shop, or pretty much any and all food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet delightful people and skip all of the overrated tourist attractions!

Our housing situation is a little complicated right now so we're unable to host, but I've received incredible hospitality on this platform, and would love to pay it back, so if you are coming to town, shoot me a message, and hopefully I can help you enjoy your time in NYC. I rarely commit more than a month out because my plans change and I don't want to leave anyone stranded, but I'm happy to leave you on 'maybe', and help you plan your visit to NYC in the meantime :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
I've been playing upright bass for most of my life, and will try to play any instrument with strings - I am not picky about music, but I prefer when it is live!

BOOKS
I read about a book a week and I love recommendations, but lately I've been enjoying nonfiction books about science. I always fall back on classic science fiction, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote a computer program that composes boring, but historically accurate, music

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ridiculous stories, fudge recipes, hair-dying, potentially a good meal and some wine :)
