About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mission? we dont need no stinkn' missions! Just enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and have been to over 20 different countries many of which are in West Africa where I lived for 3 years a volonteer. I love live music, dancing and people who live life to the fullest what ever that means for them

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was living in Ventura, I hosted many surfers. I loved showing them all the nooks and crannies around "my town". One of the best things about CS is getting to know your surfer/host and swaping travel/life stories. When I travel I prefer to stay with a real person in a real house not some hotel room by myself. By staying with people you truely get to see a place!
