Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have not been doing much since I sold my house and now don't have room to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Found a couple of hosts during a bike trip summer 2014. Sept. 2011 I stayed with a really nice couple for 2 nights in Baltimore. And another really nice couple in Sept. 2012. I have hosted about 30 surfers since July 2012. Met some really wonderful people!

Interessen

Great music and the natural world. Cycling. People, peace. Living robustly. Being helpful. Although I always have difficulty picking favorites, I love combining biking with music in a beautiful location, so...ride to an all day music festival, or go to a music festival with a pre-festival bike ride!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Woke up and saw the world! Went to sleep and had a dream, well I don't usually ever remember them, but it is still amazing! In the realm of traveling, while visiting my daughter in Santiago, Chile, had a swim all by ourselves in a gorgeous lake surrounded by gorgeous snow capped mountains.
