Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS while living in Budapest and have fallen in love with the project. I've hosted people, both couch-wise and for coffee, in Budapest and met some amazing people while traveling. I hope to continue contributing from San Diego.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

These stories are the great conversation-starters among CS'ers, so I'll leave that to be discussed when we meet!

Interests

Lindy Hop, among others. It would be awesome to go out dancing in new cities. I've also taken to outdoor adventure in Southern California - hitting as many peaks and hikes as I can, on weekends mostly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A group of friends and I hiked a mountain in Oureka Valley, Marrakech, disregarding any marked or developed trails. We made our way to the top, to the most astonishing view I've ever seen, but had no trail to take down... and an hour to be at the bottom. The best summary of the journey down can be provided with my jeans, which are in shreds now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studying computer science, but I also have a wide dance vocabulary in my repertoire, if that interests you. I've studied classical dance styles, but am spending more time with social dances recently -- especially salsa, swing,...

I'd love to discuss books and music. Really.
