I am open and very adventurous and have seen and travelled to 102 countries. I am a supporter to all the poor and homeless and try to help as I travel around the world. I also have a lifetime Hostel membership and love to stay with other tourists and meet up new friends much more than attending fancy Ritz Hotels where they tend to be snobby and stuck up. That is not my cup of tea. I have been a semi vegan since 1979, and non smoker, no drugs and very clean in general. I also am sporty and have a talent in target, and used to be the second best revolver shooter in the police academy. As of now I am a Captain of a steel-tip dart team and love to compete in some tournaments. Anybody want some darts lessons I will be glad to show and teach you and your friends. As of now, I am interested in attending a few places and going to see the campus in UCSC from Thursday to Friday this week. Yeah sorry for the late note, but I just found out that I can't stay in the hostel since I reached my 2 weeks minimum stay out of this years 2016. Therefore Couch-surfing is an ideal and great way to find backup in case I cannot stay in a lower income and cool Hostel or B&B.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I could not stay an extra day at the hostel in santa cruz after maximizing my 2 weeks in 2016
It is also the best way to make new friends and meet and greet others that need a place to stay. Maybe some day they can host you, and you get a nice new token of appreciation for the free night's stay. It pays off to use the Couch-surfing website.
