Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am all inclusive and love for others to share their stories, however, do not like those who take over the room when it's inappropriate to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed once in Richmond, Virginia, and it was a great experience. Now I plan to stay with someone in Idaho this coming August, and I will do MORE surfing soon!

Interests

Travel, spend time outdoors especially boating on local Class I-II whitewater, hike, walk my dog, listen to music.
