CURRENT MISSION

Be a tourist in my own city.

ABOUT ME

Bonjour, mes amis. My name is Bee (like the bug) and I was born and raised in New York City. I spent a few years up in Western New York for university, but came home to New York City, where I rent a room one the ground floor of a delightful little house. I've spent time in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, and am in the planning stages of a trip to South Korea. I've been a vegetarian for over ten years, don't drink, and love black hoodies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first heard about CS'ing in Ireland while at a pub. Since then, I've hosted a few people, and met other CS'ers in the states. I open my home and my kitchen to anyone and everyone (so long as I'm around).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm most interested in languages, and keeping them alive. I have a note book of the bits of many languages that I've been taught. This is most important to me.

As for what I can give, well, I can talk. I adore telling stories.
