Hello! I'm Leslie. I was born in Manhattan, but I really call Taos, New Mexico my hometown, since I spent the majority of my childhood there. I traveled for school to Hawaii, and France, and toured Europe with a backpack and a train pass before making my way to Los Angeles to navigate University life. In one particularly accomplished year, I traveled around the world as a photo/video journalist on an educational tour to teach kids about Human Rights in 16 countries, for Youth for Human Rights International.

A couple of misadventures later, I now have 3 fully grown beautiful children, and am free to roam about the country independently again.

Ive been on Couchsurfing since 2015 but just haven’t had the opportunity to spend time traveling or hosting. 2020 put a further damper on things.

But now with my new business venture in the world of Crypto I’m reaching out again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing, because I like to travel once in a while, but it's really important to me to keep things simple. Hotels seem like too much fuss. I'd rather meet people, have a good conversation and connect, and then help out with wash dishes afterwards or something. I actually don’t mind sleeping on a couch. I sleep on the floor by choice in my own home.

I have met and know people all over the world, but lately I want to know more people in the US.

Interests

I'm interested in film, television, music and dance. I love people of all characters, and try to be compassionate towards my fellow man. I'm interested in photography. I'm most happiest when my work life is focused on film making. I'm also interested in civil engineering although It's not much in my life. I just like how cities are built and what makes them work or not.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: All kinds; currently listening to Celtic Battle music, Dubstep/Chillstep, and sometimes explore world music https://radio.garden/
Song: Govinda (Song by Kula Shaker),
Film: Ever After
