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, 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

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

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