Carpe diem. Life is short - make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the outdoors. I like reading. I haven't collected much dust. I like meeting people along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did one couchsurf in 2014. I've done a few more in 2015. I've done a bunch of fair of warmshowers.org (which is similar to couchsurfing) stays and have excellent reviews. I have plenty of interesting stories to share.

Interests

I'm trying to help make the world a better place for us and future generations. I do this by living simply and by getting arrested for civil disobedience now and then.
