CURRENT MISSION

To be the couch that makes your trip possible

ABOUT ME

I'm gregarious, a realist, not religious but open to the beliefs of others, considerate, intelligent, nice and generally well-liked, active in my community, creative, I recycle and conserver every chance I get, I'm grateful, generous, and I measure my wealth by the success of my relationships with the people around me.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to put good vibes out into the world and hope for the same in return. I give every day if I can and am not materialistic. I expect generosity of time and feeling from my friends and, at the least, respect from my acquaintances. This is a year of personal reflection for me and I reflect through doing, so adventure and exploration are a must!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosting surfers since April of this year and it's been very rewarding. Hosting has significantly changed my perspective on many kinds of people and I've gained a more refined since of community and sharing than before. Thanks to CS, I've changed many things in my life for the better!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couch surfed but I've stayed in hostels and lived with a family in Madrid for a month.
