About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To encourage people to not be afraid of their own potential.

ABOUT ME

I thrive on diversity. I enjoy hanging out with all different kinds of people, as long as they have an open heart and mind and hold good intentions.

I grew up in northern California, went to college in Ohio, started my 'career' in Vermont and worked in Bangladesh, attended grad school in New York and now 'making it big' as a social worker in the city. I tend to move around somewhat frequently, and I like it.

I guess at this point I am a more long standing couchsurfer. I'll take requests from people that are really dedicated to the community and have been around for awhile. I have roommates, so it ultimately depends on mutual consensus.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream it, Live it, Be it! - Ayla Fleming

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Currently meeting up. I would love to show you around the city, but realistically my schedule won't allow for it. I'm much more likely to join you for a cool event rather than just coffee or taking you to Central Park.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted in Burlington, Vermont to a few great groups of folks. Surfed in India, Nepal and Thailand with great expats and locals. My 3 week trip in Thailand would not have been what it was unless I had my couchsurfing buddies.
