Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couch surfed once in Chicago, but now I want to give back and host some people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My girlfriend and I couch surfed in Chicago in the summer of 2008, and we had a swell time.

Interests

I like reading, coffee, trying to fish (which normally just ends up shootin' the breeze), pipes and cigars. Being a student of international business, I have learned there are four things I should be a connoisseur of: coffee, tea, cigars/tobacco, and wine.

• fish
• wine
• coffee
• reading
• fishing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was on a safari in Kenya, East Africa, my group came across a heard of zebra trying to cross a swift river. Two went ahead and tested the waters only to slip and fall to their death as a swarm of twenty-five crocodiles began chomping.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is always something cheap/free to do wherever you are. Just be creative and look for an opportunity.
