Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have had a big break as I got tired of the many people I felt didn`t live up to the "code" of being free, fun, and careless. Just like a traveler. Too many business people just looking to be social. Nothing wrong with that but no fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed 25 couches
A total of 73 nights

Hosted 42 surfers
A total of 50 nights

I can’t really count how many CS meetings, parties, picnics, etc I’ve been to in Oslo. When I was active around 2009 I was extremely active, and did quite a bit of hosting in 2011 as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything and nothing is amazing:When two friends and I drove into a small town upstate New York and went inside a restaurant, the whole town came in to meet us. A total of 20 people. And they swallowed hook, line and sinker when we told our story of getting mixed up on the flights in Oslo and found ourselves in Chicago, then buying a car so we could drive half way around the world back home. Good times. Just dropping everything, flying to Poland to meet a friend on a whim, missing trains, buses, planes and not doing anything as planned, but yet do everything! This is a good story, so if we meet, make sure I tell you! Being swept off my feet and being deeply and passionately in love; going to extreme lengths where I didn’t think I could go, and then being slapped in the face repeatedly and very hard.I’ve also seen the Grand Canyon, The Rocky Mountains, The Norwegian Fjords, Popping out of my mom, The Midnight Sun, Seeing the tide disappear and reappear in Northern France, diving down into the ocean and have a Japanese warship appear in front of my eyes and then go inside it, dive in a thermocline lake, be a few feet away from wild, enormous turtles underwater, speed down mountains on a motorbike, spent the best six weeks of my life in Nha Trang, Vietnam, being shitfaced on ricewine, being holed up in a hotel room with a girl only to go out for food,

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything, and I can share cooking, laughing, drinking, certain skills, and bike rides in this city.
