live the story you want to tell

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!

I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area in California; now I live and work in New York City. I'm traveling to Italy, Ireland, Spain, and Croatia this summer, so I hope I'll be able to get to know a few new people and places around the world through CouchSurfing.

When I visit a new place, I want to experience it the way someone who lives there does: I want to go for your morning run, visit the coffee shop where you're a regular, stop by your local market, wind down with a lovely dinner at your favorite restaurant. Oh, and after that - do shots of ouzo with your entire family, play darts at the pub, dance on the beach until sunrise, or whatever it is the occasion calls for.

It's my first time trying CS, but to get to know me a little better you can check out my blog: byteresawu.com.

PHILOSOPHY

Do something that makes you uncomfortable every day... it's your body's way of telling you you're learning something!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined this community, but I'll hopefully be able to surf a few couches and show you around NYC!
