ABOUT ME

One simple sentence: I'm a hedonistic altruist

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you like and like what you do. You have one chance to live this life so make it friggin awesome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a chameleon. I'm good at picking up on social cues and people's body language so I adapt myself to my surroundings. Pretty much I can be in just about any environment and fit right in :) It's whatever works.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! Errrr...well lots in my personal life but never through a site like this. What a unique concept! I've always known the people I couch surfed with so this will be quite the new experience for me. How exciting! :) Im looking forward to it.
