ABOUT ME
Hello!
I'm a New Yorker, born and raised. I work for a law firm big in doing pro bono work, which can be pretty rewarding. I also do a lot of volunteer work, particularly with the Trevor Project. I'm hoping to start a masters program soon in international affairs focusing on humanitarian work.
I like to get out and explore new places as much as possible. I come from a family of travelers, and I'm always ready to strap on my backpack and head off somewhere new. You could pretty much point me in any direction, and I'd try to make the most of it.
PHILOSOPHY
Live. Listen. Learn.
Remember.
Pura Vida.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm able host every once in a while. If I can't, I'd gladly give you a tour of New York. Expect to see me every now and then at the CS meetup. I can definitely show you some of the best places to get some grub in the city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've definitely met some of the friendliest people in my life through CouchSurfing. It's always amazing to engage in conversation with someone who lives a very different life.
