Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend I met through Portland dance community connected me to Workaway. In the past 3 months, I've traveled around via volunteer gigs. I've mainly been in Spain, a short stint in Greece, and now, Italy. It's a great reward to give back while traveling, and I'm hoping to do more while I can. Currently, I am looking after 3 children for an Italian family in Genova. My intention is to connect with genuine, warm hearted, people. I'd love to find a way to extend my trip past December. This means finding some extra stability with work. I'm hoping to meet people who have similar creative passions in life, those who enjoy good company, and those I might be able to help in exchange for funds or a place to stay!
