Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will take people in and hopefully crash on a couch or two.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My mom used to take in travelers when I was growing up and that spirit of travel washed off on me. Through Capoeira I have been couchsurfing and letting others surf my couch for years.

I am now using the website to get to know people all over the world, share my culture and experience theirs. I have now couchsurfed in Brazil through the website, traveled with other surfers, gone to meetups and have passed on information about my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I really like existential reads.
Music: I like music that tells a story (think Bob Dylan, older hip hop, and folk) and some Electronic recently
Movies: Anything that doesn't take itself to seriously I also dig pretentious films that make you think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say walking under the natural bridges in WuLong was one of the most awe striking moments for me, I felt extremely young walking under rock formations that took thousands of years to develop. The next moment would be the kindness of a capoeira instructor in Japan, he did not have class that evening but he knew I would be in town so he contacted all of the teachers in the surrounding area and had a special event because I was coming into town.

Teach, Learn, Share
