ABOUT ME

Hello beautiful fellow couchsurfers of the world. I've been a member of this community for 5+ years and I love what it's really about--> choosing authentic and local connections in a new place. I've traveled internationally a fair amount so far in my life and been blessed to be welcomed into the homes of so many special individuals around the world. I'm planted in New York now doing social work, learning all I can about transcendence and community. I live in Leffert's Gardens, which is a cute little neighborhood full of Caribbean people, artists, great coffee shops and the lovely Prospect Park!

If you want suggestions for activities in New York especially related to world/folk music then feel free to message me! I live in a studio apt with a futon couch and small space but can host the occasional surfer.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is inherently good - we're all trying our best. <3
