ABOUT ME

New to Couchsurfing and while I registered years ago, have not yet jumped into the deep end of the pool yet..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not personally, but have heard only positive experiences from friends who have used CS. My girlfriend travelled for a few months and hosted visitors in NYC from 2012-13 and only had great experiences and positive reviews. Eventually I hope to replicate those experiences and become a host for visitors.
