I do NOT live in New York City. I do still attend some events there.

I DO live in Upstate New York near Albany. This is about 2.5 hours North of New York City.

As a Couchsurfing Ambassador, I have an interest in helping support the CS community and spirit - you can consider me an additional resource if you have questions about the New York community, if you have questions or problems that you are not sure how to address, or if you have ideas about how we can improve the Couchsurfing culture here across NY. Ambassadors are not a substitute for the CS Trust and Safety, or Support teams, so please remember there are many issues that an ambassador cannot handle for you!

I have spent my adult life working in two industries, EMS (ambulance) and retail energy (office jobs dealing with Quality Assurance..)

I have cats, Zuzu and Cece.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tried out Couchsurfing a few years ago because I love the concept of making friends with strangers. Fell in love with Couchsurfing because I had such great experiences with those strangers that I met through CS.
