Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just started using couch surfing but it seems awesome. i plan to use couchsurfing while I am traveling and then when back at home do some hosting as well. seems like a great program and would like to help it continue.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

no official couch experience yet but hopefully soon. i have lots of traveling friends that have told me about how great the experiences are with couchsurfing and told me that I have to try it out. Hope to have some great experiences of my own soon.

Interests

everything outdoors. I spend the winters skiing as many days as possible. Spring, whitewater kayaking and summer, road and mountain biking, rock climbing, backpacking, going to lake tahoe and camping. I love playing and listening to music and passing time with current friends and making new friends. I am falling in love with traveling and trying to find the hottest hot sauce.

Teach, Learn, Share

I bring music. Not the normal type of music but more of the informal jam session that ends up with everyone in the circle banging on a pot and doing some funky dance.
I have a pretty good amount of experience in many outdoor sports and safety as well.
