Overview
About Me
My story is a bit interesting. When I was in DC, I hated my job and was looking for a way out. I've always wanted to live in LA at least once in my life... so I applied to a few jobs. No one wanted to hire an out of state person. So I lied and said I was already living there. Since the job needed someone to immediately fill in a need, they couldn't give me the 2 weeks notice and needed me to start the following Monday (I was told this on Thursday). So, I walked in, gave my boss a 4 hour notice and flew to LA. I couch surfed for the first 2 weeks. Fast forward a month, I flew back and drove my car Memorial Day weekend from DC to LA. Now, I’ve moved to Brooklyn in NYC.
Now? I'm at a different job. Since having been laid off by Airbnb, I now work for Google in Chelsea.
I live next to the Brooklyn Bridge, where there are many great sites, good food options, parks, and access to many subway lines.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
If you need a host or someone to show you around, I will do my best to be that person!
The people on couchsurfing helped me out tremendously when I was in need. I wanted to give back to the community. I'm sorry I couldn't so it sooner!!
