ABOUT ME

My name is Sydney! I'm an elementary school teacher from New York City and, now that school's out, I'll be spending the whole summer in Europe! I love traveling, learning languages, experiencing new cultures and creating memories. I also love music (especially Jazz), good food and good company!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
-Howard Thurman

"Don't worry, be happy."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to get to know a country and its culture is through the people. I like to explore new places with the people who frequent them most...it makes the experience more authentic and enjoyable for me.
