ABOUT ME

Hello couch surfing friends, my name is Larkin. I am originally from Virginia. I have been involved with couch surfing for nearly 10 years, and my experiences within it have been nothing but wonderful! I have met so many really awesome people and made several really great friends. I have traveled all across the U.S. and have had many great adventures along the way! I am currently in a position where we can travel often and far, and I plan on expanding my travels far beyond the reaches of the U.S. in the upcoming year!

I have always had an adventurous and outgoing personality. I enjoy learning, hiking, new food and cultures, and couch surfing has helped me to connect with other like-minded people.I look forward to sharing many more pleasant couch-surfing experiences with friends new and old!

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life in such a way that your biography will never be boring!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to attend a weekly meet up in Chinatown of Philadelphia. I have also couch-surfed in Las Vegas, New York, and Philly. I hope to expand my couch surfing experiences to other countries in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited, but excited about the upcoming year!

Interests

Mixed Martial Arts, Rugby, Soccer or football has really been interesting me lately, I like new food, new culture, I enjoy comedy and theatre, I'm the most adventurous person I've ever known. I have a death wish or something...I don't know, but I just feel like if I didn't do it I'd always wonder about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once swimming off the coast of Florida in Panama City. I was swimming when I saw a fin sticking up through the water. The first thing I thought was, "Oh God this is a shark!" But it wasn't, it was a dolphin! And the dolphin came right up to me! Not only that, for the next hour the dolphin and I played together! He would splash me then swim a few feet away and I'd splash him and he'd come back! At one point he even let me ride his back!Okay "let" is kind of a strong word...let's just say he didn't fight me too hard when I did! haha It was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love interesting people and people that are not afraid togo out of their comfort zone. History favors the bold, as do I.
