I moved to NYC in September 2015 and am still trying to get my bearings... it's pretty huge.

I was so good about keeping my response rate at 100% when I was hosting in St Louis, but now that I came to NYC and had so many requests, my response rate has plummeted, which I'm kind of bummed about... I apologize to all of you I never got back to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been surfing since January 2010 and hosting since March 2014

I have couch surfed a few times now. Once in Bologna, Italy, where they brought me and my friends around the city and to some anti fascist gatherings including a poetry reading and a concert in an underground bar. The other time in Milan, our host brought us to Karaoke where we sang some Queen and ate way too much gelato. Went to Boston to cheer for Cornell at a Harvard hockey game and stayed with a great MIT student. I also stayed a few days on an island off the coast of Washington.

I started hosting in St Louis in March 2014. Since then I have hosted (at least, not sure I can remember them all)
- 1 Belgian
- 1 Chilean
- 1 Austrian
- 1 Italian
- 1 German
- 1 Canadian
- 2 English Lads
- 2 Australian mates
- 8 French girls and 4 guys
- 40+ Americans
It has been a pleasure so far!

Sorry, once I moved to NYC I kind of fell off from the site, my hosting situation changed, but hopefully I can get back into the community.
