Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been very active recently. I used it when I was in France, as traveling was easier and I had more vacation time. I hosted, was hosted, had coffee, etc. It was fun and I look forward to do more of it again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a couple of people and been hosted two times. Hopefully I'll have time to do it more in the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

December 2008 I went to Cuba and

I spent 2009-2010 New Year's Eve with 2 of my best friends at Stockholm at a party I was invited by some people I met one night at Berlin...at the Subway. Very crazy and very fun.

May 2010: My 1st CS experience. Went to London from Paris, by bus, to figure out what did I want to do in life.

Summer 2010 I went to Iceland and it was incredible. Such beautiful landscapes. 24-hour light. Quiet and solitude.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy cooking with fresh vegetables, so I can share some of this and really enjoy cooking for others.
