Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it's a great way to meet likeminded people and get to know a city.

i've couchsurfed all over the US - swam in hot spring mountains in the winter, went camping, scaled a cliff, and got wild with some great people.

future plans include: travel to Japan and Costa Rica for a semester on scholarships, working on an aquaponics project in both countries.
