CURRENT MISSION

shift perspectives and gather lifelong memories

ABOUT ME

We are a young couple that lived in NYC for a few years working in (L) photo production and (G) public policy. We simply ate, traveled, and lived off these. Forgoing the stressful life in the rat race and subletting our Brooklyn apartment, we've chosen to deepen our understandings by going Another Way for a while, south through the Americas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We couchsurfed once and met wonderful, generous people, and hope to keep at it during our travels through Mexico and South America. Once we settle in back in NYC or elsewhere in Latin America we`d love to host people, too.
