About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and party and meet tons of people along the way!

ABOUT ME

I travel to get to know myself better. I find out new things about myself everytime I go somewhere different. I'm currently looking for myself in New York city! I'm a city girl and I finally made it to New York. I just moved here from San Francisco and I can't wait until I have my own place so I can start hosting people on my couch!

PHILOSOPHY

i think that might just be what i'm looking for

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had the best experiences of my life couchsurfing! I usually have an open couch but I'm currently surfing around New York while I look for an apartment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met the most amazing people while couchsurfing. Some I know will be lifelong friends. One of my best memories is the day I arrived in Guadalajara, Mexico. Everyone was so friendly and inviting and we formed a bond immediately! I'll never forget it. I love having people stay with me as well. Sometimes I feel like I'm running a hostel but it always makes life more interesting to have people to show around the city. And it's always a good excuse to go out, not that I need one!
