Finding the others

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and kind person, like cultural experience, good food, people, and things. I have always been a creative thinker and am always thinking outside the box.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be positive, patient, and work hard at the things I am passionate about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to the community CS events and make friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Mike is the one who introduced me to the world of couch surfing. He was visiting me while I was living in Seattle. As I was at work, he wandered Seattle, eventually stumbling upon Sebastian, a local couch surfer. He invited us to a vegetarian pot luck that night and since then I have joined the crew!
I've hosted people but have yet to stay at others homes.
