ABOUT ME

My name is Dave but some friends call me Dave-o. I'm a 21 year old student studying English & Business at Azusa Pacific University (just outside Los Angeles) and an aspiring comedian/writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be traveling with my family to Leeds, England to visit my grandparents there and plan to stay with them for the rest of the summer to freely explore Europe while I am still young enough to do so, and hope to make many new friends along the way.

Several friends have told me their CS experiences and how much more amazing it made their travels, so I'm hoping to couchsurf as much as possible to make new friends and learn new things. My younger brother Jon, 19, will be traveling with me for about half of my trip.
