I grew up in NYC, in the East Village. I went to school in Canada (Vancouver, BC, on the West Coast), where I studied food science.

I lived in Raleigh for a few years doing a food science job and then, beginning in 2025 I got a job in Connecticut. I work as an actuary for a company that administers pensions.

As for interests, I am competitive at pool and backgammon. I also love cooking and trivia. If I come and visit, I'd probably spend the day walking around and exploring and hopefully spend the night doing one of these activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring and meeting new people. Even when I'm home in New Haven, I try to meet new people every chance I get.

I'd love to come to your city and meet you!!

My profile is very new and I understand if you're wary of having people with few verifications and endorsements. I am happy to talk on the phone or Zoom with any potential hosts/meetups if you want to speak to figure out if it's a good fit. If anyone is around in Connecticut I'd love to meet up for a beer or some pizza.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to school in Vancouver was so amazing. It was such a beautiful place and UBC was so international. I made friends from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play pool or backgammon, likely better than you already know how to.

I'd love to learn about your city. Please take me on a tour if you have the time, or if you'd rather, point me in the direction of a cool neighborhood or sight, and I'll probably spend all day exploring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to bring food or some beer or wine. Whatever helps, just let me know!
