Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing and hosting whenever I can to spread the love and understanding that we all just want to get along.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my extensive travels (have taken 3, year-long trips around the world so far) my fondest memories are when people have invited me into their homes and shared their culture with us. I have reciprocated many times by hosting couch surfers both on the site and others that have just come our way.

Interests

I am active and love to play sports, as well as chilling out on the beach. When in SD, we play beach volleyball whenever the sun is out. Also, i enjoy yoga, hiking, and biking.
