ABOUT ME

i am happiest when provided with unlimited espresso and a good book. also, add kittens to any scenario and the enjoyment rate goes up at least 87%.

PHILOSOPHY

more often than not, it feels like my brain has been replaced by soda that is going flat. i'm combatting that by making sure i get out of my bubble once in a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

primarily surfing for now, as i don't have a couch available at this time (thanks to size restriction of new york apts). I am always eager to meet new people and would be happy to at least tour or chat with with anyone visiting new york.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've heard enough positive stories of couchsurfing from friends that i am continually ashamed of my inexperience here. i hope to change this soon.
