CURRENT MISSION

Taking the road less travelled.

ABOUT ME

I like travelling. It gives me new stories to tell, and I get to hear other peoples' stories. Couchsurfing makes for a great deal, in that respect. I tend to love explaining things, especially if it's something I'm passionate about, and I'm equally willing to learn.

PHILOSOPHY

In all things, moderation, including moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf when I have the opportunity, and I offer up my couch when I have one to offer. I also talk the project up to friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've loved the experiences I've had so far. Great people all around.
