Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet and help people. I have been helped many times in the past, and I feel like this is a great way to give back!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had Great Experiences Coach Surfing. Whenever I do travel, I go for tennis events, so I am very easy to host as I leave early in the morning for tennis, and come back late in the evening, so it's almost like I'm never there! I love to share time with my hosts for dinner etc.

Interests

I love the beach, I love to travel and to get to know people.
