Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to surf, future host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled some through Europe and around the States, mostly staying in hostels, the occasional stranger's couch. I'm easygoing, try to stay out of people's way if that's what they desire, enjoy good conversation, like to dabble in partying when appropriate. I'm always interested to meet new people and hear their stories

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This question is too hard! How to do boil an entire life experience into one highlight?

I did recently arrive in Fethiye not knowing what to do or expect while there, learned it was the paragliding capital of the world, and then said "I guess I'm going paragliding!" It was awesome :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a pretty good omelette. I take pretty cool pictures sometimes. I can shoot and edit little movies pretty easily. I'm pretty good at writing formal emails if that's what you're into.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, a foreign perspective, a future couch in New York, smiles and drinks.
