Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always available for coffee or drinks. Once I move to a better location (next month) I will also share my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a gypsy personality and like to see where the wind takes me. I couch surfed for 1.5 months this last yr in Columbus, Ohio while working to elect Obama. I loved everyone I stayed with. CSing makes you believe in humanity of all faiths, political leanings, and personalities. Hosting and surfing are testaments of faith, generosity, and trust.

In college we had random drifter that was biking from Seattle to Chile stay with us for several weeks. I want to enable everyone's life journeys. I love new people, stories, and tour-guiding.
