Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Man, I'm waiting for my stupid postcard so I can be certified here in Shanghai. Anyway, I'm happy to meet up. I maybe ready to host people again if I find the time and the creek don't rise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never stayed with a Couch Surfer, I have only hosted people. I started when I came to Mongolia in the summer of '08. My experiences have just about been universally positive.

Interests

I'm always working, but my work is entertainment, so it's cool. I DJ, host, dance, plan events, and more. I also love intense and long 1 on 1 conversations.
