Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

this is my first time using couchsurfing, and i hope to meet like-minded people, or at least people who share a love of new experiences through travel. i am from the west coast of the u.s.a., but hope to create a stronger connection between the coasts by sharing my home with others.

Interests

well, there's writing, making and listening to music, wandering either through walking or biking, having a great intense or in-depth discussion about philosophical questions, music/art, plants and animals, books. really like creative collaboration of all kinds, sharing uncanny experiences with good people. and boy do i love a good dance night! and funny funny people!
