Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to travel and host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple of times and had great experiences -- everyone has been really nice.
My first experience as a couchsurfer (not host) was really successful -- went to Spain by myself, met a girl on couchsurfing, and stayed in her apartment for 5 months.

Interests

Soccer, writing, reading, music. I like going to bars (or anywhere else), I like trying new food, I love craft beer and whiskey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love new languages and cultures. If I meet you while I'm drinking and you speak French, Russian, or Spanish, I will attempt to speak to you in one of those languages. I might try it if I'm sober.
