Hi everyone, a little bit about me:

I’m Jade. My family and I fled from Jakarta to the US as refugees when I was 5, lived in Seattle for 17 years, went back to Indonesia for 2 years, and now live in NYC (hopefully) permanently. I am very independent, progressive, curious, and thrifty. I currently work remotely at a humanitarian organization and appreciate others that work in the nonprofit sector.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

love to meet new people and see new places from a local’s perspective to be an ethical & responsible tourist!
