Hi, im Chyanne.

I usually travel solo. You meet so many more people that way.

Currently I live in Brooklyn. I work a ton of side jobs, but always happy to help out a traveler. Maybe I can host, maybe I can only give tips or share a meal or my perfectly shitty rooftop with an amazing view.

I've gotten rid of everything well over a few times in my life. I like to think I've gotten pretty good at living out of a small size pack, I found there's guitars everywhere, even if they're always missing one string. And everything else you need can be found or improvised. Things are always going unsuspected, sometimes things gone wrong end in great company or a beautiful place you'd never planned for.
I'm not a luxury kind of traveler, I value the connections and friends you can make through exchange of work or sharing skills and experience.
I like the idea of going somewhere I've never been, often following suggestions of an awesome person I'd just met and see where it takes me.

I'm curious about everything and my only plan is to experience and learn as much as I can and leave a good impression on those I meet on the way.

I'm very self-sufficient, so no need to be my tour guide, I'm happy for company if you'd like to hang out, but also just grateful for the safe space to sleep and hope to return a favor for you someday.
