I'm a newly-minted graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, moving out to San Francisco in September for work. Currently traveling around East and Southeast Asia until then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion, staying with hosts that know the area is the best way to get a sense of what living somewhere is really like. Staying in hotels and hostels is nice and all, but you're still mostly surrounded by other travelers, not locals.
