My name is Linda Artola and I'm a 100% born and race nicaraguan. I moved to the capital of the world, New York, in 2012 and now I can tell that this crazy city is my second home. I work as a freelance journalist, translator, band manager, event producer, baby sitter, etc, etc... (it's an expensive city and I need to survive and also get to travel every time I can!)

I looooove going to concerts, riding my bike to the beach, eat food that I never tried before, talking to people in the street, dancing whenever and wherever there's good music, among other things :)

I WANT TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD!!!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think this is a great platform to connect with people from around the world and because it offers a more local way to get to know a country and its people.

I'm pretty new on Couchsurfing, but I'm always hosting friends and friends of friends, so this is like taking another step into this experience.
