ABOUT ME Hi, my name is Lauren Covey and I live on the lower east side in Manhattan. I have lived here for 4 years now and I love the area. I grew up in a small town in Virginia and then went to university in Philadelphia for fashion design. During my college years, i lived in Paris for 6 months building costumes for the opera. My career path has been quite interesting, but it's not over yet... Now I am working as a stylist/assistant to the bigger names and it takes up a lot of my time. My work is great because there are so many travel opportunities. Recently, I started to go free lance, which is a great for me to work on my own photo shoots and also to explore the city during the days. I love sharing my side of the city with travelers and I am always open to going to the theatre, opera, museums and concerts. I volunteer at the MOMA as well and I am very enthusiastic to talk about art with anyone. I also might be able to host on occasions as well. PHILOSOPHY I live my life as an explorer. Throughout my travels and daily life,I am always soul searching. Trying to discover ways to improve myself, I find myself always evolving.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been meeting people in the couch surfing community for over a year now. I have gone to certain parties, gone for coffee and I have been hosted several times.I would like to host as well. Hopefully I will be a bit more involved now that I finally signed up! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been involved in couchsurfing for a while now, through a very good friend of mine. My first real experience surfing would be when my friend Brandy and I went to Greece together. It made the trip so exceptional, getting to see a local point of view of the city and do things that I don't normally get to experience.

Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I really want to improve my french and would love to help anyone with their sewing skills. I also always want to learn more about the arts. Whether it's painting, drawing, or making my favorite, shadowboxes, I love doing these things with others. Oh, and I only know how to play one song on the guitar, but I would love to learn some more! Teach me and I will be happy to share my knowledge with you as well
