Hi everyone, a little bit about me:

I’m Jade. I moved from Jakarta to the US when I was 5, lived in Seattle, Washington for 17 years, went back to Indonesia for 2 years, and now live in NYC (hopefully) permanently. So you tell me where home is lol. I am very open-minded, adventurous, and like being thrifty. Currently work remotely at a nonprofit for refugees

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

love to meet new people and see new places from a local’s perspective to be a responsible tourist (:
