Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Over the last year and a half I've unofficially hosted people from many different countries. At the time I wasn't using couch surfing to host people.

At my apartment in Vietnam my room mates and I have hosted many people on couches and our spare bed for up to a month from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to using "couch surfing" formally.

Interests

I'm passionate about music. In Vietnam I teach children how to program music using iPads. I was a college radio DJ and I've been friends with and surrounded by musicians my entire life.

I love movies and I'm interested in contemporary art.

I like to snowboard when I can.
