Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a good exchange without paying an arm and a leg. I want to meet new people, eat new foods, get in with the locals. Have an authentic experience. Learn new places to eat and drink.

Too many things cost money that shouldn't. Lodging is one of them. There are so many mutually beneficial factors to couch surfing.

"...'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help with the kitchen, I'm pretty handy with a knife and spatula. If you need to get rid of left-overs, I am your man. Few can match my graceful dance of fork and knife across the plate.

Good with kids, know my way around a garden.
