Hey what's up!!! I'm Veronica. I'm from Texas and currently live in Hoboken, NJ very close to Manhattan! I love meeting new people, watching weird or deep film, writing, reading dark fiction, geeking out over coding and electronics, exploring all cultural aspects of cities, getting lost on the dance floor, and simply making others smile! I'm very spontaneous and super laid back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Eh why not...Lol
Cool to meet the locals. I also am fiercely independent so appreciate the couch or whatever if you are busy and I am happy
to be on my own exploring. I would want the same out of a surfer staying with me as well. Someone up for recommendations and a respect for my privacy if I have stuff going on. And if I am free, more than happy to hang and explore :) !
