ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

"Be like water, my friend."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think CS is a great indicator of human goodness. I surf your couch, you surf mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I CSed when traveling in Mexico, and also when I biked from Florida to New Orleans with my friend we regularly couch surfed.
I've hosted sporadically and look forward to living in a more desirable location for surfers .

I've met so many interesting people through couchsurfing - so genuine, so generous. I'm so proud to be apart of CS!
