Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have participated as a surfer, which has made it possible financially for me to see the world. BIG THANKS TO ALL who have Hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A brilliant concept to allow everyone a means to travel & connect with complete strangers in a fun way.

Interests

Almost anything outdoor, hiking, swimming, biking, etc. I also enjoy yoga & quiet time, and actually I think this is essential for us all (quiet time, that is).

  • dining
  • yoga
  • traveling
  • outdoor activities

  • hiking
  • swimming

Music, Movies, and Books

I have this practice where I laugh with another nonstop for 60sec, as hard as we can. It is very healing, healthy, and contagious.
