Hi it’s me, La Toya, I’m convinced the world would be a friendlier place if we considered each person we meet a potential new friend. Social networks were created to help us stay in touch with friends near and far. But for many of us, they may have done the opposite. We’re adults so meeting AND connecting with new people is… well. There’s a song all about “no new friends” right. Meeting cool people ain’t easy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So it feels like meeting new fun sane people is getting harder, so I joined Couchsurfing because a friend recommended it. I enjoy traveling and she said that Couchsurfing was a great way to meet new friends in a new city...so here I am. I'd also be happy to be a friendly face to a visitor in my city.
