CURRENT MISSION

something like: 'excess is the path to wisdom'

ABOUT ME

I live in a one bedroom apartment (with a small backyard!) in Astoria, Queens. I try my best to live life as an adventure and not get too bogged down with the other stuff that happens. I love meeting new people. I love laughter and music. Travel is the best education you can receive.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open and love and laugh but take life and your responsibilities seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting interesting people and perhaps spending half a day exploring the city with them. I love to travel but when money is tight, why not have interesting people come to you?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first arrived in Paris I stayed on a friend's couch and it saved my life. I had no idea where I was going to live and the week helped a ton. I'm a believer in openness and welcoming others.
