Kind heart, curious mind, down to earth, a bit weird, dark sense of humor, drinks like a demon, looks after dead people’s garbage for a living (ok, I work at a museum XD)

Friends say “perfect balance of sweet and salty, you should know her” lol

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love connecting with people, sharing laughs and good conversation over drinks and food, wandering around and hearing their stories and all about what interests them. And Couchsurfing just always seems to have the best people! Work tends to keep me crazy busy at times but I will do my best to be available :)

教，学，和分享

Share - I’m a pretty decent guide around the city and I know a ton of great places to grab a drink or some food that aren't tourist traps. I can help you navigate Central Park, find your way around the Met and also know where to catch an Irish trad session pretty much any night of the week if that’s something you’d care to know for some reason XD. Message me if you’d like to meet up with a local, connect with a fellow New Yorker or if you have any questions about getting around/things to do!
