I'm here with an open mind and an open heart. Looking to:
- meet travel-minded people from all walks of life
- share stories and experiences
- motivate one another to continue exploring places and cultures

Does not matter if you live locally or just passing through NYC. I don’t believe in geographical boundaries hindering friendships.

I'm fortunate to have made many friends via CS and to have met my partner while traveling. For those interested in staying with us:
- we have a poodle mix dog that is hypoallergenic (see his photo in the profile), smart, and well-behaved
- we are currently not located in Manhattan - we live in a cute town called Bronxville, which is located right outside the city (25-minute walk to the train station and 30-minute train ride to Grand Central)

Just got back from Japan/Taipei recently and super inspired by both cultures.
