Hi there, I'm Sarah! I love to travel. In 2017, my husband and I traveled the world and lived on a different country each month. Now we are doing a shorter version for three months.

For the last 10 years I've been living in New York city. I worked for Disney doing North American marketing strategy for 5 years on The Lion King on Broadway and Disney Channel.

In January 2017, I quit my job to focus on building my brand, explore the world, and learn about new cultures and people.

Now I am a full time travel content creator. You can find me on YouTube, Instagram, or on my site sarahfunky.com.

I love longboarding, gymnastics, aimlessly exploring cities, photography, and going out for craft cocktails.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a more authentic experience while traveling, make friends and get a local perspective on the culture

Interests

I run a travel blog called SarahFunky.com to help others have more authentic travel experiences.
I love longboarding in the city because it's fun and faster than using public transportation. It's also a great workout. Sadly, I was not able to take my longboard with me on my trip around the world so I've been missing being on it!

I was a gymnast for 10 years. I love doing yoga now to stay in shape.

I love flying airplanes. Someday I hope to get my pilots license!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is bioluminescent kayaking in Puerto Rico. Also, I did outrigger canoe in Maui and it was incredible.

I think one of the things I'm most proud of is quitting my corporate job to travel the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a travel photographer and can help one learn how to take better photos. I also have ample experience in social media marketing, digital marketing, and overall marketing strategy since I used to do it for Disney. I'm happy to offer tips!

Luis works in IT and is great with fixing technical issues. Most notably he is an incredible chef. He is from Guatemala and specializes in Guatemalan food but is fantastic at cooking many types cuisines. He loves to cook for people and would be happy to make a meal for our host!

Travel advice, friendship, photography tips, home cooked meals, guitar jam out sessions (my boyfriend Luis loves playing!)
