CURRENT MISSION:
We do not live in NYC, we live 40 minutes outside the city- We've had a lot of requests from people who think we're in central NYC.

At the end of April I moved to America to be with my partner Sahar who I met 4 years ago in Australia. I'm immersing myself into the American way of life & slowly exploring my new homeland whilst writing a blog about it.

I've taken up Yoga & Pilates, volunteer at a local Montessori school and help out at the Montclair Film institute.

Sahar has begun a new job in a new field, he's picked up his guitar again and plays rugby twice a week.

ABOUT US:

I finished college in 2011 and instead of going to university went to India for 6 months. This kicked off my love for travel and I've been on the move almost constantly between the ages of 18-24.

Sahar is originally from Israel but moved to the USA when he was 4. He's spent time living in New Jersey & Florida with his family. He travelled around Europe before we met- he's seen more of it than me!

We love love love the outdoors, writing my travel journals, watching/playing rugby, working on farms and baking.

Fun, positive people to be around. Easy going, up for new challenges, love getting out of our comfort zones and making the best of our opportunities.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't wait for others to make your dreams come true!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW WEPARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've never hosted but now I've stopped travelling and have a permanent address, I'm excited to pay back all the kindness I've been shown.

Sahar hosted a few times in Miami, Florida.

My first experience was in Perth, Australia and I couchsurfed the whole North Island of New Zealand with Sahar.
