我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia looking to embark upon the next phase of my life and kick-start my career by moving to D.C.! Though I'm a bit nervous, I am really looking forward to new opportunities in an incredible city. My plan is to arrive in DC mid-October and begin looking for a place and a job immediately. What I would truly love for those two weeks of October though is to stay with someone who is passionate about D.C. as a city - it would be wonderful to be introduced to the city by someone who already loves it. I am not just looking for a living arrangement but my first friend in D.C.!

I love to read and be outdoors. I'm athletic and particularly enjoy biking and soccer. I'm working on my cooking, and I'm pretty sure I'm improving. Great movies, good wine.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

"Amazing" seems a bit of a flattering term, but I worked as an intern for an N.G.O. in Kibera, a slum neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya. It was a 3 month stint and involved a home stay within the neighborhood. Brutal at times, chaotic at others, it was nonetheless always interesting, and I met incredible people who are still friends to this day. My experience not only in Nairobi but in a slum was challenging, eye-opening, and incredible. I am currently looking for work with another N.G.O. as I found it rewarding and challenging.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Dinner! Which I will cook! And good company (I hope). I won't have a ton of stuff up there yet, but I do have a few good stories and a very easy-going attitude. I love to laugh and, more so, to make others laugh. I would like to share a bit of my story with you and hopefully you'd like to share yours with me!
