Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm finally not living out of my car and have a real-life-apartment-with-furniture and would love to start hosting again. Also, would like to travel again soon and will likely be continuing to participate in that way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The couch surfing hosts I had while I was traveling in Turkey were terrific. I have also surfed a bit in the states and had nothing but magical experiences.

Interests

Food. Growing Food. Art. Poetry. Music. Learning new hobbies. Traveling. People.
