Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've benefited greatly both from hosting and being hosted.

We have hosted a number of CSers already (my old roommate, Mimi, had been using her account to host) and I will be travelling a lot for work and, when I have free time, would prefer to stay with interesting people who know the area than in hotels!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like Ive been lucky to do a bunch of awesome stuff from starting a startup to diving with whale sharks in mozambique to living in freetown to touring south america to touring lots of nursing homes growing up (built a lot of character). It's been a varied past ten years. All the experiences have made for great stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food, help with tech things, an ear that's willing to listen, some good stories.
