CURRENT MISSION

Gain hosting experience and save money so that I can have successful couchsurfing experiences while I travel throughout the year.

ABOUT ME

I'm considerate and quiet, but I'm not shy. I like talking about books, TV, movies, music, and traveling. I like making people feel comfortable and having long talks over beers. Since I started going to gigs at 15, I've loved seeing live music. It's especially fun to catch shows in other countries.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
