HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to the online couchsurfing community. Stayed with many kind souls in my previous travels. Hosting as I am able in Okinawa and hoping to pay kindness forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of experience from travelling. Favorite memory is meeting and being hosted by Bedouin and Druze villagers while hiking the Israel trail from Egypt to Lebanon.

Interests

former NCAA athlete, pianist and guitarist, I love spending time out on the water either surfing, snorkeling, or spearfishing.
