Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I definitely host when i can and even when traveling try to meet up with as many couch surfers as possible. Im active with my cities CS group. We host potlucks, get outside a lot and always try to entice people to visit, so please come!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for the first time in Ghana and to this day I have had only amazing experiences with everyone I have met through couchsurfing, whether it has been surfing, hosting or just meeting other surfers at events, everyone has been incredible and so welcoming!

Interests

Anything outdoors. I love to ski/snowboard, hike, camp, white water kayak, dive, snorkel, play tennis, squash, paddle board, etc. Anything adventurous, new and exciting is what I love!!

I also love going to festivals. Ive been to Burning Man the last 4 years and if you have the opportunity to go, do it! Its an inspiring place full of art, creativity, music, interesting people and ive noticed its become more international as the years go by. Hope to see you there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 5 month trip to the 'stans' (northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan) was one of the travel highlights for me. The hospitality, the unique cultures, the food, the scenery, it just couldn't get any better. If you want to get off the beaten path the Stans are where to go and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking vistas and welcoming people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot of travel knowledge, im well over 100 countries now and dont really keep track any more. I love to talk about my experiences on the road and the fantastic people and hospitality Ive experienced. There are so many incredible places and the world really is a magical place full of so many hidden wonders.
