CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and travelers, especially in New York City.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jonathan Cokely. I am a student of political science at Columbia University. I hope to make my impact on the world with the skills I learn here in New York City. It's a make or break kind of town, and I intend to make it big. I love meeting new people, I love learning new things, I love having unusual experiences. And I love music of all kinds. If you stay with me, all I ask is that you share your music with me.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't Panic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I am hosting people. Someday I hope to get out and see the world. Until then, I will let the world come to see me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every CouchSurfer who has stayed with me has been polite and a pleasure to have. My favorite aspect of Couchsurfing is being able to discuss politics and culture with people who have another perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went hiking in the Ozark Mountains (Northern Arkansas) in January 2011. It was so serene. Because it was the middle of winter, all of the leaves had fallen off of the trees. I could see the rock faces of the other mountains, natural bridges, and cave entrances from miles away. Although it was 50 degrees, there were no bugs. A perfect weekend!
