PHILOSOPHY

Joie de vivre~

Freedom is my mantra.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'm no longer on the road (for now ;)) I attend weekly CS meetups and the occasional event to meet fellow New Yorkers and travelers alike!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I unfortunately didn't find out about CS until the latter half of my 4 month backpacking trek across Europe, but I met some amazing people in Berlin, Prague, Edinburgh and Manchester who opened my eyes to this wonderful network of generosity and kindness. I spent the best couple months of my travels with wonderful people. I'm so grateful to couchsurfing for allowing me to meet people i connected with so deeply, half a world away.
