Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2015: Finland, Helsinki- 2 nights, 1 host

2015: Seattle (2 host locations for one week each) and Portland (1 location for ten days, 1 location for 3 days, 2 nights!).

In Ireland and Amsterdam while I lived in Europe in 2010. Stayed with an acquaintance for a week in Italy, so I guess that's semi-couch surfing! I am also a professional couch-crasher at my best friend's apartment in San Diego.

Looking to Couchsurf more to gain more good experiences with fantastic people!

I am always respectful, kind, clean and open-minded! I am incredibly mature for my age, due to some really challenging experiences in my early twenties. I am empathetic, compassionate and always try to focus on what is really important at all times. I hate getting caught-up in the superficial stressors and angst of daily life... why waste time?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joined the Peace Corps, survived an attack and was strong enough to come back in one piece. Finally becoming semi-okay to talk about it...
