Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couchsurfing is a brilliant idea. The more connections we can foster between communities and people the better. I support whole heartedly any website where these connections can manifest into real world experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both surfed and hosted before, but not through this website. Those experiences were great so I imagine a community full of such open people will only bring more great experiences. I can't host at the moment however, one of the down sides of moving back home:(

Interests

Making things. Getting completely engrossed in projects. Photography, writing, movies, art, anything that moves me.
Snowboarding, running, and yoga keep me fit.
Science, etymology, history.
I spend most of my free time making music.
I play guitar, drums and oboe. I like to build things.
