Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have offered my couch to many friends, and to some random people I have met. I love to host. When I travel to new cities, I try to surf to meet cool people and not feel like a stranger in a hotel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a bunch of cool inspiring folks and showed them around the town that I love. I have also traveled and crashed couches and junk rooms. I have made it a habit to offer my couch to friends and couch surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing/repelling off of Pedra do Baú in Campos do Jordao, Brasil. New Years Eve on Copacabana beach. Canoing in the US/Canada boundary waters for 12 days. Living on the side of a mountain under a tarp while restoring a historic mining cabin.

Survived a hit and run by a car that was driving about 50mph when I was on my bike.

Simultaneous sunset and full moon rise on top of Franconia Ridge in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
