I'm living in the Berkshires of New England for the summer, working as an environmental education intern for a non-profit. I talk to people every day about caterpillars, butterflies, and moths!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to hang in NYC on my way back to the Midwest, mid-October, on an intern (and post-best friend's wedding) budget! I don't have any connections to people in the city and cannot afford to stay in a hotel/hostel.

This would be my first Couchsurfing experience and knowing so little about the city itself, it would be really encouraging to meet some awesome young people!

I also have the ability to host while I am still living in Massachusetts, those traveling through the Berkshires and/or the Appalachian Trail .
