My name is Michael and I graduated from Columbia in 2014. I'm from Austin, TX but I live in NYC now. After high school I took a year off and lived in Israel and Europe. I really love traveling and all the new people I meet because of it.

I speak Spanish and English. My Hebrew is decent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would offer my couch on this site but my building would get upset however I love hosting guests.

I'm on Couchsurfing because I can't think of a better way to truly learn about a place better than staying with a local. I have couchsurfed a few times and have never had a bad experience with it!

I'm not picky and I'll pretty much sleep anywhere. I enjoy cooking and I have no qualms with cleaning.
