CURRENT MISSION

To find a means to travel despite my limited budget! There's no such thing as no way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30-year-old freelance writer who quit her 9-5 job to travel the world! I love to read, do yoga, meditate, cook, and listen to everything from folk to jazz to blues to indie rock. I'm currently living in Mexico City with my boyfriend (who I met through CS in Mexico!). You can see his profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/miguel_angel_g/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted people at my apartment in Toronto, Canada. As of August 2012 I quit my job in book publishing to travel. I've surfed in Mexico City, New York City, and Southeast Asia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted Couchsurfers on my couch in Toronto, have Couchsurfed in Mexico City, and have met up randomly with CS people in both cities. I met my boyfriend via Couchsurfing!
