About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking life by the horns, one day at a time

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to describe oneself without coming across as something because most of us think the best of ourselves (as we should!). A few things about me:

-a former World of Warcraft gamer
-extremely loyal to those who have earned my friendship
-a bit shy at first, at times, but quick to warm up to people
-Culturally Deaf

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to travel the world someday using Couchsurfing. Until then, I am trying my best to let people have their chance with what I have to offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first two experiences Couchsurfing were in Austin, TX and in Albuquerque, NM. They both turned out to be awesome experiences although they were both for only one night.

I had my first CS hosting experience! (5/2011) The honor goes to Sergei Ayoro and Fee Brinkmann who were hitchiking the past 9 months through the Middle East and continuing onto the heart of the African continent before heading North, back to Europe. Very good experience!
