Hi! My name is Sophia. I’d been living in the amazing city of New York for about four years now, when I figured it was time I see more of the world and figure out where I want to live longer-term. I just am finishing hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and now am going to try out the nomadic lifestyle for a while. Where should I go next? ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From what I've heard, Couchsurfing is a pretty amazing community, and I'd love to meet some awesome people in each city I visit and/or live in.
