Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my help with new immigrants here for jobs, school or an extended vacation to make connections, make friends, learn to acclimate to the culture, learn the language, and see the places not listed on travel guides!

Interests

I am a writer, musician, photographer, and avid gamer. My husband is an immigration attorney and we work for the biggest refugee resettlement nonprofit agency in the state. We enjoy concerts, festivals, art shows, and films. We enjoy introducing surfers and our friends, family, and coworkers the hidden gems of the city and state.
