Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate by opening my couch to anyone in need. There's no reason to rent a hotel when traveling - couchsurfing provides a much richer experience of the world
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've couchsurfed in Portland, OR, San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA and even my hometown Salt Lake City, UT. I always have a valuable experience with couchsurfing, the diversity and excitement of surfing in just my familiar surrounding - SLC - was surprising and eye opening.

Music, Movies, and Books
Historical biographies and political and social theory books are my favorite. I enjoy all music, books, and movies that motivate and ignite an emotion.
