Friendly, humorous, honest, and respectful.
Was a non-official hoster for many years before I knew about couchsurfing. Unable to host at the present because I've been traveling. Otherwise I really, truly miss hosting the most. Hostess with the mostest?!
Experienced an awakening of sorts after an illness. Realized, the hard way, that life was worth more than just work & money.
Value meaningful exchange.
The delightfully demented are most welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connect with locals. Get out of your comfort zone. Staying in a hotel can get boring. Save some money. Cross-cultural exchange. Experience exchange that one can't buy with money.
Some of my most cherished moments whilst traveling have been when I've been invited by locals into their homes either for a meal, drinks, or to meet their family.
