Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook, clean, play some tunes, take near professional grade photography, organize (almost annoyingly well), garden, ride/care for your horse (though I doubt it would be applicable), I am a certified lifeguard, and if there's something caught up in your tree I would be happy to try to get it down.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only the great things friends have told me and the people I have met though their participation. Can't wait to begin.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Scuba diving in the Virgin Islands during a hurricane threat:
The stillness of clear fluid preserved the peace until a flutter of activity began. Schools of vibrance gained speed. Above, there water gained ripples that turned rapidly to waves. The atmosphere dimmed but in the safety of submersion there was nothing spooky about it. Frantic were the fins, though, whose scales felt vibrations my skin could not. Like humans in crisis, some took shelter while others sped aimlessly.
As quickly as it came, it ceased. The calm returned.
