Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attend local gatherings/meet-ups, & have connected with travelers from all over the world for coffee & conversation. I'm not at a place where I can host at this point, but I look forward to the day when I can have a revolving door of travelers passing through, but staying long enough to foster a friendship!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This community has been life-changing for me. It's been effortless getting to know my fellow surfers over the years, and this community has given me the opportunity to have real conversations and make connections with people from all over.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was one of only hundreds of thousands of people in Grant Park the night of the 2008 presidential election. Literally history in the making...It was one of the most peaceful yet invigorating moments of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to share with you my sense of joy, my compassion, my humility, and my passion for exploring the city I thrive in. In exchange, I hope to learn whatever it is you have to teach! I'm open to your lessons, and I welcome your insights, and stories, whatever they may be!
