Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couchsurfing is one of the most interesting ways to travel, stepping outside of the traditional, transactional economy of hotels and hostels. Of course its also a great way to make contacts and learn how to be a great host and guest.

Talk about History, Literature, Film, Geography, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics deep into the night. I would also love to share travel stories. I can also help build things and work in a garden.
