I was born on a farm halfway across the world but raised in New York.

I think I give off a city slicker vibe because people are usually surprised when I tell them I lived on a farm with no internet and limited electricity for 2 months at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really believe you need the advice of locals to really explore a city. So I'm willing to help people explore nyc in the hopes they will do the same with their hometown

Interests

I also love building things. When I was younger, I was really into Legos. Now building Robots, designing lights for plays, small gizmos etc. are some ways I stay creative.

I'm also into photography and data visulization but I'm still an amateur. Take a look on mah blaag https://projects.dtostillwell.com

I can probably find a good venue for you to listen to some music and definitively take you to the best eateries in town.

I also love playing new music for people on my kick ass home theater.
