About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm always on a mission to find new people who have something to share with me, and with whom I can share something.

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy-going, laid-back person who enjoys meeting new people as much as I enjoy hanging out with old friends. If I'm dancing, I'm definitely having a good time.

I am currently freelancing as a fashion designer which has been amazing since it's pretty much me designing what I love and having someone else produce it!

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to take life too seriously by adopting a nonchalant attitude... I only worry myself with things that really require worrying, and not petty things. I try to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself and hope that it works out for the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just recently heard about CS through my friend and I love the whole idea! There's no better way to experience a new place than through a local!

Unfortunately one of the crappy things of living in NY is that space is very limited. I share an apt with 2 guys and we have no living room for guests to stay. So despite not having a couch to share, I am always open to meeting up for a drink or some shopping!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to surf on any couches but I hope to able to meet some other CSers soon!
