PHILOSOPHY

acceptance of others is crucial to understanding our connection

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To offer up space, a couch and advice, when needed.

If I can ever help, be it advice on wwoofing, yoga in India, trekking in Nepal, motor biking in Viet Nam, temple stays in Japan, massage courses in Thailand or eating in Italy/France, just ask.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling across the US several times, spent many a night on a couch, tent in the backyard, sleeping bag on a scrap of space or tight night in the car.

Kindness of friends and strangers have enabled me to see much.

Interests

Travel, reading, photography, film making, snowboarding and attempting to figure out where to base myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm....my favorite amazing thing was when my family and I traveled in Italy and were able to find our extended family. They were beautiful people and the took us to the house that my grandfather lived in as a child.
