ABOUT ME

I'm currently doing a residency in psychiatry in NYC and living in Brooklyn. Aside from a few Freudian slips however, I'm relatively harmless.

Aside from the dark arts of the mind, I'm also avidly interested in other arts - film, literature, photography, music, architecture, etc. etc. Obviously, like everyone else on CS, I'm hungry to learn how other people think and live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the word, hosting others, surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experiences have been in co-hosting couchsurfers with my former roommate through his (Danfromindiana) account, so you should check out his profile for more messages from people who've stayed with both of us in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. He was also the one who replied to many of the messages (which is why I have such poor reply stats) while I was in charge of charming them after they landed at our pad.

I've surfed in Montreal, Lisbon, Rome, and Berlin. They were all amazing experiences, and I was surprised and inspired time and time again by how hospitable people were to complete strangers.
