About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand a place, rather than simply see it and check it off the list

PHILOSOPHY

"Love alone is Life."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed in Ireland, just starting to host, and looking to be more active in my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch Surfing can only survive if there is a harmonious balance of taking and giving, teaching and learning, surfing and hosting.

Surfing should inspire you to host. It is the absence of obligation that makes the spirit of paying it forward so incredibly magical.
