I like trying new things, and being outdoors, which makes traveling an interest of mine and how I learned of couch surfing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf and host.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couch surfed with some friends for the first time 2010 in Vancouver, CA and this year live with a roommate that initiated our house to be host. The guests we've had were great and so thought it's time to start an account to open up opportunity for travelers and myself to travel.
April 2011- hosted Ryan Fyfe, Nathan the pool balla' and Ben Eh!
Sept 2011- surfed for 4 nights in Seattle with Dr. John Riggs
Oct 2011- hosted Peter for 2 nights, and Gwen and Molly for one
