Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have surfed in Germany. I hope to surf during my upcoming trip to Budapest. In the future, I hope to host surfers as well. Currently, I am available to meet up with travelers in New York City on Friday evenings and Saturdays.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Germany in December 2008 and January 2009 while traveling with my friend. There, we were hosted by three members of CS during our stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

In general, I like comedies, romantic comedies, dramas and psychological thrillers. Some of my favorite movies are Memento, Identity, Serendipity, The Wizard of Oz, The Goonies, The Little Mermaid, Slumdog Millionaire and probably 1000 others...

I love inspirational books and ones that make me think like Three Cups of Tea and Tuesdays with Morrie.

My favorite music tends to be soothing and/or uplifting. I really enjoy Jason Mraz and Coldplay

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with dolphins while I was in the Bahamas, which was one of the most incredible and enjoyable experiences of my life.

I also enjoyed my class in Spanish Art & Architecture when I studied in Salamanca, Spain. I would learn about types of architecture and then witness examples of them first hand in Salamanca, Madrid and other parts of Spain.
