About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about other cultures and hopefully make a friend or two

ABOUT ME

Greetings from Washington DC. I did some couchsurfing this past summer when living in Sweden and have nothing but good to say about all of my experiences. Meeting people, traveling, making friends - does it get any better?

I work for a Congressman so my social life is null due to the long hours. .. but i do my best to accommodate couchsurfers sporadically b/c as a traveler i understand what it is like to have the desire to see, learn, and experience - all w. no $ or place to stay. :) viva couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

"Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I traveled to stay with a host en route I was freaking out a little. WTH am I doing? This is a little nuts. What if they are insane? Well that all changed really quick. By the time I left Stockholm and my wonderful German host I was convinced that couchsurfing was the brainchild of a genius.
