Just visiting LA for a couple of days. Will appreciate any accommodations

I'm 4 hours drive away from NYC. I'm in western Massachusetts. Please don't message asking to stay in NYC because I don't live there

Hello, I am college student backpacking through coastal West Africa for a month from July 25 - August 21. I'm coming from Ghana all the way to Senegal. I'm really chill and quiet. I am spending 2-3 days in each country. I'm travelling on a really tight budget so I will greatly appreciate a couch to sleep on.

My studies focus on the Political Economy of West Africa and that's why I am embarking on this trip to experience and see the region. I was born in Ghana and raised in the United States but moved back to Ghana a year ago to study. I have really loved my time in Africa and I hope to continue enjoying the rest of my time here. Merci and thanks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm trying to backpack through West Africa on a budget. I really need free accommodation to make this trip work. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel through most of the West African countries and want to take advantage of it. I am really hoping to meet some great people who will guide me through my journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Martinique was the prettiest island I have seen and it motivated me to continue solo travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation is really all I have to offer. I don't have any money to offer but will gladly help around with anything I could. I'm really cool and keep to myself and don't ask too much of my hosts. I'm hoping people are offering up their couches out of the kindness in their hearts and I hope to do the same when I get back home.
