Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm more of a drink/coffee CSer at this point, but look forward to planning a trip (probably fall 2012) where all I do is couchsurf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I've gone for a bike ride with a CSer in Maui. Met another, in
San Francisco, for dinner, twice. And, couchsurfed, in Delaware, once.
All have been great experiences. I look forward to more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New Zealand was absolutely AMAZING. I can't wait to go back to see it through my adult eyes, but the 13 year old me was mesmerized.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about the sport(?) of curling.
I love to learn. No more book learning for me, though. Life lessons.
I'll share anything I can with anyone who's willing to share in return.
