It's been a while since I've logged into this site, so a bit of the about me is rather outdated but i think I'll leave it be since most of it is still is a pretty accurate depiction of who I am.

To be honest, I hardly ever log into this site anymore since every third request makes it into my inbox. So apologies in advance, if I don't end up replying. think I'm fun, friendly, easy to talk to, and generally keep a pretty positive outlook on life. I am a loyal friend once my trust is gained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have been a surfer and have been a host. Couchsurfing has changed the way i see ppl and the world. It is an amazing network of ppl and if you were to encapsulate couchsurfing into one phrase or one concept that would be..it's open and well intentioned. it is actually pretty rad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my trip I couchsurfed with many different hosts , not because I've wanted to save on a hosteling (I've been doing the hosteling too) but mainly because it's been the best way to immerse oneself in the experience of a city. I've hosted numerous times in the past with friends and friends of friends and since returning I've finally had the chance to officially host as a CS'r. Unfortunately, my living situation doesn't make it easy to host. i'm hoping this will change as as soon as I move. It's been amazing so far...
