PHILOSOPHY

"The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn't even think to ask"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had lots of opportunity to travel near and far but not a lot of cash once I get there. Hotels suck and they are expensive. It is much more satisfying and interesting to connect with real people while couch surfing.

I also have an incredible farm in SW Washington half way between Portland and Seattle. We love to have people stop through and camp out and lend a hand for a couple days or just crash for the night.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is pretty much the only way I can afford to travel. I travel a lot and I always stay with friends or family where ever I go. It is always nice to meet some neat people on the road and gain more enriching experiences from the locals.
