Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though I've planned to couchsurf more, i have actually only had one past experience and it was incredible. I stayed at the home of some people heavily involved in the resistance movement in palestine. it was an incredible experience, I got down with a bunch of other surfers on a protest in East Jerusalem where a Palestinian family had been evicted from their own home. I hope to have more bomb ass experiences like that!

Interests

i am big fan of the beautiful game of football; many of the greatest experiences of life i owe to this wonderful past time. i enjoy many other things as well.

  • painting
  • soccer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled all the way through India to the Taj Mahal just to not go in cause that shit was too expensive and they were charging white people more than Indians!
