############################################################################## 1. Couchsurfing is more about cultural exchange than just a free place to crash. If you are solely looking for a free place or to just leave your bags and party, then please get a hostel or storage locker. 2. Copy-Paste requests and zero-reference accounts will be automatically denied 3. I get a ridiculous number of requests, so please understand that I mostly host those who also have a track record of hosting in their home, since that is what makes this a healthy ecosystem. If you have no references as a host but seem interesting, I might be down to meet up — just not sure if I can offer you a place to stay, sorry! If you send me a request with no references, you have proven that you either haven’t actually read my profile or don’t care. 🙃 ############################################################################## Texan living and working in NYC for twelve years. Love traveling, meeting people, languages, food, music, art, film, journalism, biking, and learning in general. Just decided to get back on Couchsurfing to share my couch and accrue some good karma for future travels :-)
