PHILOSOPHY

I believe that if it is meant to be it will be BUT if you want something bad enough you will find a way to grasp it. Kind of competing philosophies with a very optimistic spin on the world. I believe that a higher power watches over travellers and feel that by travelling you open yourself up to beautifully random experiences that if you pay attention can impart amazing wisdom upon you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been a CS member since 2005 though have been more active on HospitalityClub until now. Seems like CS is the place to be. :)

When I have an apartment available I'd like to host and/or meet up with people.

When I'm traveling I'd graciously love to spend time on a couch and/or meet up with people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I aspire to be as gracious as a guest as my previous hosts have been to me.
