Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a New Yorker, I can attest that you never really experience a city until you've viewed it from a local's eyes. Tourist attractions are spectacular, but if I only have 72 hours somewhere, I want to make sure I can get a full taste of what it has to offer- most of which are probably not found in "Travel 101 in (insert city here)."

Also, my dream job is to be a professional couch tester, so this is a real resume booster.
