HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made a CS profile years ago, but am just now using the site. I've lived with people from all over the world, but haven't officially gone "surfing"

Interests

I enjoy learning about history and cultures, outdoor adventuring, and playing music of all types. I admire people who listen well, and I strive to view the world through open eyes.

Music, Movies, and Books
