Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few. Love doing it while I am around. But I am away fairly regularly. I love to exchange that occurs when meeting travelers.

I have surfed a fair bit too. Across rote 66, and around Europe.
I've loved every minute of it. The trust and the community and the sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few travelers on my couch.

My first CS experience was surfing my way across Route 66!!!

Then I surfed across Europe on a 1 month research and conference circuit!!!

I would have been homeless on the streets of Paris after a credit card and luggage malfunction if it wasn't for the gracious people in the CS community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about your city and the people you surround yourself with.
I can share annecdotes and stories, I can change the oil on your car, I'm pretty good with rubberbands-paperclips and anything else macGuyver style... I can give limited architectural advices, I can share dreams and visions. I can share a new perspective.
