Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly by surfing and hosting so far, and thus meeting new great people. Well, that's the whole idea, I guess!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive! I've hosted once and surfed a couple of times while travelling around in North America in 2010 and 2011. Everything's been great, people have been good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I know it might sound lame, but walking down Ulloa st in San Francisco and seeing the Pacific Ocean in front of me did leave a mark. I don't think I'd ever seen that far before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you how to play guitar with simple chords (because I'm bad with the complicated ones)!
