My name's Taisha. I'm a social worker in Foster Care. I’ve been to over a dozen countries, but don’t get to travel much anymore. I love hearing all about other cultures and ways of living. Oh, and I have a cat. He’s kind of a jerk, but very cute

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to love experiencing new cities with locals. It always made it more fun and informational. You get to see places that you would have never stumbled upon in a hotel, and share laughs with kind like minded people. Now that I’m settled down in nyc and have my own place, I want to give back to the community that have me so much every time I went backpacking

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I embarked on a 3 month trip from New York to California, riding greyhound for the entire trip. If surviving greyhound for that long isn't amazing, I don't know what is. Also did 4 months solo backpacking in central and Eastern Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to show you around the city. NYC is one of those places that’s so vast, and exciting, yet tourists rarely venture to the less known, more interesting areas. Let me introduce you to a restaurant with walls covered in pictures of dogs, and speakeasy’s that’ll make you feel like you’re back in the 50s. I like to think I also know the best places to catch a sunset and a sunrise in this city.
