About Me

Hey Everyone!

I am new to the traveling backpacking world and am so excited to finally have time to see the world at my own pace. I first learned about this awesome site from The Budgeteers and their awesome YouTube show. (if you haven't heard of them be sure to check em out :p )

I am a New Yorker, I've lived here almost 13 years! I l am passionate about travel , meeting new people , making new friends, and experience different cultures around the world. I am an amateur chef and love trying new food so if you have and recommendations i'd love to hear them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to travel and not just see the surface level stuff that most tourist get into. I'd like to make new friends and experience the places I visit with locals and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.
