Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i host, surf, connect, and form friendships. I'm looking for a short-term stays as i job hunt with design firms all over the world! if you could put up with a peripatetic yoga poet loving architect just oozing with optimism, we will get along just fine!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've been surfing an hosting for over 7 years now, although in small spurts. ive hosted in my small apartments in boston/cambridge and once in nyc but as you can imagine nyc apartments are small and it was hard to find 3 roommates who were ok with bringing in constant visitors.

cultural exchange is where it's at, and some of my best friends I've met through couchsurfing (from peru to italy!)!
