About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to eat and cook! While I'm at it, learn a new language too!

ABOUT ME

This is my FIRST couch surfing experience. I am traveling Aug 23-Aug. 31 in France. I would love to get in touch with the locals and learn the do's and Do NOT's of different regions. Thus far I have NO itinerary. I only have a vague idea of what I want to do:
1. Eat
2. Drink
3. Run
4. Be Happy

PHILOSOPHY

Do what will be good to others.
Don't do anything that will cause me to NOT sleep at night

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I promise I will attend Couch surfing meetings in NYC when I return

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once upon a happy hour, a few years ago, a couple of couch surfers at Soda, a bar in Brooklyn asked my group of friends if we were couch surfers. Apparently, we had chanced upon a meeting of theirs. None of us had any idea what that meant. We chatted a bit then. 4 years later, here I am, signing up.
