Hey there! I'm a down to earth, friendly, born and raised New Yorker (Ironic? Maybe!) I'm a pretty passionate and exuberant person who loves knowledge and meeting other interesting people. I also love to laugh, sing and dance. Talk to me about your perspective, philosophy, and passion. Even if it's different from mine I'm definitely interested!

As long as you're genuine and generous, I've realized that things always seem to work out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard amazing things about this community and I love the idea behind it. The best thing about travel and life is the people you meet along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

I get really blissfully nostalgic about cartoons from the 90's. Good dialogue in a movie makes me squeal. I'm really good at knowing pop culture, totally cool if you think it's pointless though!

Music: I seriously like everything- every genre. Heavy/Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Electronic, Indie, R&B. Classical, whatever. I love to hear stuff that's new to me all the time!

Movies: Pulp Fiction, Life is Beautiful, Amelie, Lost in Translation

I love Miyazaki and other animated stuff. Rick and Morty, Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Game of Thrones, Black Mirror, Breaking Bad

Books: Count of Monte Cristo, War & Peace, The Alchemist, Hemingway, Salinger, Jane Austen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned how to ride a bike at 23 in Portugal, kind of embarrassing but whatever!

I also meditated in a Buddhist monastery and felt this immense gratitude and love for the universe. Dope stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always up for an adventure and to learn something new! I can teach English or how to cook some delicious mac and cheese! And I love to discuss everything, no topic is off limits.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Really good company, conversation about practically anything. I'm very laid back and go with the flow. But i'm also down to party all night and do something insane, whatever works. We can swap stories, ideas and laughs. Plus I'll make an excellent tour guide if you're ever in NYC!
