Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been very blessed to have great hosts all over the pacific and have hosted several people while living in Japan. When I'm stuck in one place I tell everyone about CS and how it can help them follow their dreams of traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Taiwan, Japan, Bali, Singapore, Vietnam, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, China, the UK, Qatar, and Thailand. I have met people from the CS network in Hong Kong and the Philippines as well. I have nothing but good things to say about it. The reference system works and the people I've met have been great. My travel experiences wouldn't be as good as they have been if it were not for CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Circumnavigated the globe in one trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

A lot of good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bunch of random stories.
A cooked meal.
Groceries.
But the best present I have to offer is presence.
