47yo designer from California living in NYC 20+ years. I have 2 grown children and a puppy. Recently separated from my husband of 6 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A.) I like to meet people, but I am not naturally extroverted. Couch surfing creates an opportunity for chance connections and conversations that might otherwise never occur. B) Because I can. I know people who would be constitutionally unable to do it, but it seems effortless to me. I feel like this is a meaningful gift that I should use.

Interests

Please note that “I have children” refers to older children who visit from time to time. It have a 1yr old Morkie puppy who lives with me full-time; whereas the children do not.
