Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As the immortal Mr. Rogers said, "Won't you be my neighbor?"

Here to do my part. I've enjoyed hosting and surfing through Couchsurfing and other means for 10+ years. I've always hosted/surfed with my partner, Matt, whose profile is here -- https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mattsala

All of our references are on his profile. You may have noticed I don't have any here! That's because we've always shared an account for simplicity.
