Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been with couchsurfing for a few years and must say that it has been a great experience. I've hosted wonderful people from all over the world and it's great to know that they want to come back and they welcome me in the spirit of CS fellowship and fun. I'd love to have people visit me in North Carolina and will update you about my living situation once I have more details.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After hosting a dozen people, I had my first experience couchsurfing in NY in a great place with a great bunch of people in Harlem. It was great. I had people at my place in Spain from all over. I can't wait to start hosting again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Cotopaxi. Touched the Berlin Wall. Straddled a crocodile and fed skeptical monkeys in The Gambia. Some really amazing hikes at odd hours of the night to visit castles in Italy. A beautiful and inspiring visit to Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque) in Istanbul, Turkey. Those accidental interactions with perfect strangers and friends, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a ballet dancer for 18 years, so if you have some overwhelming desire to learn plies we can do that!
