ABOUT ME

Heyo! Thy here (pronounced Tie) originally from Southern California but moved to New York not too long ago.

I've traveled quite a bit and find joy in hearing others stories about their experiences and journeys. Finally settling in to my apartment in NY so I'm trying to get back into the Couchsurfing world. I'm always down for spontaneity, eating a ton of food, and exploring new things soooo if you want to meet up, drink some tea (or other stuff) and be friends, feel free to message me!

Cheers.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe that you can and you're already halfway there.

Work hard, play harder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I've just returned from my trip, I want to try and make it out to all the CS events in the area and build a strong community amongst the fellow hosts and surfers as well. Like I said before, I can't offer up a couch but I definitely have time to meet up and hang out :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in Jakarta, Indonesia with this awesome dude named Nikko. He picked us up, drove us around the different parts of Jakarta, showed us to local street food, and basically offered to be our guide for the whole 2-3 days. It was an inspiring and awesome first experience and ever since then, I've been so amazed by what CS can offer and want to be more active.
