CURRENT MISSION

to live it up and try to make the world a little better than it was when we got here.

ABOUT ME

If you asked my friends to describe me, they'd say I'm fun to be around, very curious and inquisitive, talkative, kind, creative and generous.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to have fun and enjoy meeting other people and getting to know about them and where they're from. I like to travel and see new places. Life should be fun and fulfilling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I surf, I try to go to Cleveland CSers get togethers when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my CS experiences have been great--I'm so glad I'm a part of this organization. This past year, I've really gotten into it more, hosting a number of people from the US and, more recently,international visitors as well, from Brazil, Japan, Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Spain and Israel. I've surfed in Chile and in Brazil. It was great!

I Couchsurfed during my entire trip to Brazil for the World Cup in 2014. My hosts were all great. I also met people at weekly CS gatherings and by posting on city pages and meeting up with people just to hang out and walk around town for a few hours.
