Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's a sign inside Shakespeare and Co in Paris that I really like: "Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise."

I'm pretty open-minded and open-hearted to people I cross paths with, whether it's from Couchsurfing, friends of friends, and even random rideshares. I've made one really good life long friend from the modern version of a hitchhiking ride in California.

Couchsurfing has connected me to so many people in other cultures I wouldn't have otherwise met. I appreciate every enriching experience and whether this website were to cease at some point, I would still continue with the couchsurfing ethos/philosophy of having a whimsical, adventurous, all-embracing mindset.

If I'm lodging at your place, I'm more than willing to help out in cleaning/utilities, etc.

I unfortunately cannot host all too easily since I live with three other roommates in Brooklyn.

Interests

I'm the type of traveler who really enjoys walking and seeing friends in far flung places. I love going off the beaten path and looking at maps.

Hosting is an art. I try to make guests feel at home. Mi casa es tu casa.

I'm a hardcore knitter who likes to make clothes and other odd projects.
