Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day in Mexico (during my very self-dedicated stage of life) I was up at 5:30 am running on the beach. A saw a little black pebble, and looking at it more closely, saw it was a hatching baby sea turtle. I sprinted home to wake up my family, and we watched for the next two hours as the whole nest of baby turtles hatched. It's something special to know you're in the right place at the right time.
