CURRENT MISSION

Be myself

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living in Cartagena, Colombia, and teaching English in a public school. I was born in New York, grew up in Georgia, and am now attempting to live the rest of my life in more interesting parts of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to meetings and hang out with couch-surfers. Sometimes I go on mini-trips with the Couch-surfers. Someday I might actually go couch-surfing. That might be cool.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, just hanging out with couch-surfers. Though apparently my parents are letting people couch-surf in my room at home, so that's kind of like a couch-surfing experience.
