Hey visitor, I'm Jessica! I was born and raised in the South, but now reside in New York City. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, making/eating food, and attempting to be eco-friendly when I can! I climb quite frequently at my local gym and love the friendly nature of climbers I've met.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and also meeting people with perspectives different from my own. I also love exploring the culinary side of where I'm traveling, but doing it in an affordable way :D
