Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will:

Open my couches, car seats, bicycles, hammocks and heart up to anyone willing to share a good story or jam on some instruments.

Go anywhere and meet anyone under our sun who knows how to have a good time, or wants to relate on a human level over a game of horse shoes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Lincoln, NE, Kansas City, Charleston WV, Washington DC, Raleigh, NC and more! I surfed in Miami in October 2008. Great time, tons of fun. We had a great experience with a fun host who showed us around. It was AWESOME to experience the town with a local telling us the secrets.

I also Help-X'd all over Spain, France and Italy for 4 months in winter 2009.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed in a city north-west of Barcelona in October 2009. I 'taught' 5 English classes to a host of locals. It was a BLAST!
