Giving back to the world, one place at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know what it's like to live in and contribute to the community, not just be a visitor passing by. Id rather participate in daily life than tourism.

Yes I can afford a place to stay, but to be welcomed into someone's home and life is special. To be so fortunate to get to know a person by sharing adventures together, stories, and best of all through laughter, thats what traveling is about. It's about the people and their language, culture, lifestyle, desires, hopes, fears that will "make" the journey unforgettable. That is why I travel, that is why I am on Couch Surfing.

Interests

I love being wih locals even with a language barrier. It helps me stay humble and kind. It also helps me with having more patience and be able to understand others better.

I must volunteer in every country I visit... Or donate blood... Or both.

I enjoy being outdoors... Hiking, camping, swimming, surfing.

I like to play all sports but my favorites are basketball and baseballl.

Animal/pet lover - cats, dogs, other?!

Only allergic to cow manure.

Can we play some board games?!
