Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have couchsurfed a few times while traveling, with varying degrees of success. I did a lot of couch surfing during an 11 month backpacking trip through much of South America. I would like to host now that I am living in the Boston area.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A few good experiences so far, but nothing major. always looking forward to the next one though. hosted a few people recently and its been going really great.
Interests
music(folk, americana, ooooold folk, blues, country, electronica, all kinds of indie, punk, some 90s rock, the occasional pop song, always looking for more), movies, philosophy, beer, science, the environment, the news, history, politics. Jokes, especially in spanish. Always learning.
