ABOUT ME

I've always felt that most of the information in a profile was in the references. Maybe that's dodging the responsibility of trying to describe myself, but to me Couchsurfing is about mutual accountability and that lives in the reference section. I've left some of the original prompts below, but if you're interested in hosting me or staying with me, my recommendation is to check out the references people have left for me, and the ones I've left for them, and if you're still interested after that, get in touch!
