❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ MY RULES ❌❌❌❌❌❌

Couchsurfing is not a dating app. I do not want to meet with guys who have only women reviews (🤨), or only hangs out with women.

** My Philosophy on Hosting**

Hosting or being hosted is an extremely sacred thing to me. I am always thinking about how much my hosts are offering me and what I can do in return for them. If I am being hosted by someone, I always offer to cook, clean, buy them groceries or bring little presents. Keep in mind hosting requires someone’s resources and time, which are so precious, especially in NYC. I don’t expect much, but I do expect guests who respect in keeping my home clean and respecting the time I have to go to bed.

I am looking to host similar-minded people who agree with my above statement.

If I do accept your request, please note the following:

- You MUST have more than 5 references of mixed gender (If you don’t, please provide social media handles)
- I need a personalised request, stating you actually read my profile
- I don't accept locals or people only looking for a cheap place to 'crash'. My place is not a hostel and I put a lot of effort and money into making sure you have a good time!
- I only accept travelers
- I do not want to host you if you plan to use my place as just a base to leave your stuff and go and party all night. I really need to protect my sleep and need you back home before 11pm every night. I have no problem with you exploring or having my keys, just please respect my quiet time.

⚜️ABOUT ME⚜️

Mint is a family nickname, I don’t like to use my real name on here. I would say I’m super giving, loving and open. I am only interested in people who truly want to make connections. I get along best with people who do things that they say they'll do, and actually does them. If I could steal anything in the world, it would be experiences. I live for all types of great experiences. I am up for anything that piques my interest - do you know how Rose is after losing Jack in the movie Titanic? She lost the love of her life, however, his soul lives vicariously through her in the experiences she had attained while still living on earth.

As I tell everyone, I don't have a 'home.' I have moved around the US since I was a baby, and have never lived in one state for too long. I come from an American military family, so am used to international individuals, and spent ages 5-16 years old growing up on US military bases. I have lived in 11 states, 1 island, abroad, and over 20 cities. I have been to over 55 countries and three US territories. My depths of knowledge needs to be expanded and it's been my mission to do so every waking day of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet as much people in this world as possible. I believe that every human is complex with different layers, and want to know everyone’s story and how they’re living their lives. If you think about it a bit more, the fact that we are alive together at this moment in time is so astronomically rare. Time is limited, so is our existence together on this earth.
