ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, soft-spoken, and full of opinions. I enjoy conversation where people reveal themselves. My job title is Mental Health Advocate. Basically, I help poor people with legal and bureaucratic problems. I volunteer raising money for a battered women's shelter. I play soccer every week. I love varied and rich tasting food.

PHILOSOPHY

Live well by sharing instead stepping on other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to surf your couch very soon. I look forward to getting to know people in the places I visit. My best travel experiences have centred around meeting locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted by CS members before, only I met them through personal contacts. My hosts have been very good to me. I learned so much more about a place and met so many more people because I had a host.
