Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed with some great human beings in the past and I would love to continue to do so. Here is a link to the page I shared with Holli: http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=7GYW8UK. You can check out some of our references to get an idea of my experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience was in a wonderful two bedroom basement apartment in Vancouver; stuffed to the brim with well over thirty people from all over the globe. Holli, my sister Sarah, and I drank beer and laughed a lot with people coming and going through the front door that was actually the back window. This place was amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking Europe with a dear friend for two months in the summer of 2011 was lovely; London, Paris, Tours, Strasbourg, Munich Bolognia, Cinque Terre, Orviato, Rome, Florence, Venice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk films forever, I try to watch a film a day. While not active in the church, I was raised Mormon and love the history of the religion and the ways that is blends with the history of America. I've practiced screenwriting for years and love to discuss the way the medium of screenwriting function in relation to and apart from other storytelling mediums.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a natural sharer and am happy to share anything I can afford to. I usually have several books that I'm often happy to pass along. But a lot of the great moments of sharing come unexpectedly in moments of openness. The best intetactions are ones in which two people and immediately become excited by sharing what they have.
