Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel. I host dances and the musicians who come and play for our dances (contra dance, Argentine Tango, Waltz mostly), and am always happy to meet adventurous people. I plan to do more traveling myself in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Used to hitch up and down the west coast long long ago, always liked it and stayed w/ friends and strangers. Nowdays will travel for dances and stay at houses of other dancers.
I have moved since having my last guest, from Nehalem to Vancouver WA, which is 15 miles from Portland Oregon
