Hello! My name is Nicole Greenfield (25) and I’m a remote worker, traveling housesitter, and nomadic activist. Though I’m based outside Philadelphia (Reading, PA), I’ve been fully nomadic for almost two years now, traveling the world with free housing by housesitting and petsitting for people (using TrustedHousesitters!).

Over the years, I’ve lived and traveled throughout many parts of the world. After growing up in PA, I lived in Greenville, South Carolina while studying Economics and Psychology at Furman University. As an aspiring traveler, I decided to study abroad at Bond University, where I lived in Gold Coast, Australia for 4 months. This experience later propelled me to travel to several more countries across Oceania, Asia, Europe, and South America. After graduating, I started working remotely while living in Eastern North Carolina (as COVID-19 derailed my travel plans) and then started traveling full-time in January 2023.

For my (remote) work, I do survey research for an opinion polling company (so I love to talk research and data!).

While I'm still building out my CS profile, here are some other profiles that contain references ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

(1) I love to travel! As a remote worker, I'm incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world (and Couchsurfing provides the perfect accommodation for both my travels and work!).

(3) I love to meet new people and explore new surroundings and cultures! Couchsurfing presents the unique opportunity to experience new cultures while living like a local while traveling.

Interests

In my free time , I enjoy exploring the outdoors, skiing in the winter, volunteering with local organizations, watching anime and creating content!

I’m also the founder of Nomadic Activist, an initiative mobilizing fellow digital nomads and remote workers to make a difference wherever they roam (with a current focus taking action ahead of the upcoming election, so I’m pretty involved in progressive politics in the US as well) https://nomadicactivist.com/.

Additionally, I document my travels on social media (Instagram): @nomadically.nicole (for my general travel and petsitting adventures) & @nomadic.activist (for my activism work)
