ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Chris and I’m 28 years old. I currently am living in the New York metropolitan area. I just finished a Master's in Immigration Management. I am now working as a translator/transcriptionist, but have worked in many other positions including as an immigration paralegal.
PHILOSOPHY

Treat people with respect and dignity; ALL people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted about a dozen people that I met from Couchsurfing at various apartments when I lived in New York.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but good experiences so far. Everyone I have met has shared stories and cultural information about their countries and I have done my best to host them and make sure they get the most out of my city!
