ABOUT ME

real. fun. caring. sympathetic. atypical. black. queer. sweet. occasionally clever. gently aged 36 years. lived in California (Long Beach, Encino, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Arcata); Oregon (Portland); Washington (Olympia!); Belgium [Vlaanderen] (Antwerp)! im a technology-sphere permanent resident, a cloud of tech follows me, but its generally non-abrasive and increasingly welcomed as the world joins the ranks. basically that means YES i will fix your computer if I'm sleeping on your couch! ;) At the same time, even higher values are placed on experiences, good people (of these, i tend to make friends for life), peaceful xplorations of all kinds, linguistics, nature, music!! of course theres much more... poke around or alienation.nettrip.org :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

so far not a lot. i've attempted to surf and host, so far wihtout success. the surfers always cancelled the day before.. and the one time i was accepted as a surfer, i had an emergency that cancelled my whole trip.. i wrote my host saying so, but at that moment the CS system crashed and lost a bunch of mail. the would-be host wouldnt believe me and left a negative review on my profile. i will keep trying for awhile though...
