Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to join this anti-consumption community when people are being people, sharing their homes with each other for the sake of experiences. I live in a dorm now, but as soon as I get my own apartment you're welcome to visit!:) *not sure where in the world it will exactly be*
Right now I'm looking for a place to stay in New York, NY for the first few days, I land at midnight on May 30th. I studied in San Francisco, Seoul (South Korea), and Hyderabad (India), and am going to Berlin after NYC - if you are as passionate about exploring the cultures and nomad lifestyle - we should talk!:)
Please, contact me if you can offer anything since May 30th and for a few days.
