I'm a 31 years old writer from New York City. I write for Psychology Today about mental illness. I freelance and write for a ton of other magazines regarding climate change and human rights.

Before that I got a master's degree in behavioral neuroscience and worked in neuroscience and art and tech firms.

I love bookstores and local literary writers ro your region. I am easygoing and enjoy the gardens or literary readings just as equally as I do nights out, concerts, and exploring town. My personality is surprisingly blunt and strong and I like to goof off !

Feel free to browse my website sarahanmyers.com to verify I am real.

I do not tolerate sexism, bigotry, racism of any sorts no matter where you come from. Please keep your communication to this app until I have met you. Many thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy looking at a new country or city through local perspectives. I don't travel just to feel safe and comfortable all the time. I want to know the history and conflicts of a region I go to, but most importantly, why your region makes you feel alive.

Interests

I like anything that involves self actualizing and how to be a better person. So, I like learning about people, places, and cultures different from my own.

I am a super reader and usually read a book a week. On my most recent trip I finished two books I bought that trip.

I'm a professional writer. So any literary discussions are great. I also enjoy philosophy of cognitive science.
