PHILOSOPHY

life is short- Dont waste it. Good people are hard to find...hold on to them when you find them....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't look at couchsurfing as a free hotel, but rather as a great way to make friends all over the world. Paths intertwine for a purpose. I truly believe that.

I am able to pick people up from the airport and show them around whatever city I am in at the time, however, I have not had my own place to be able to host but that is my goal....to be able to host other travelers in my own home as I have been graciously hosted in many countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in a few different places and I have not had a bad host yet. Questionable experiences...maybe!!!! I am loving meeting new people and experiencing new things. I am looking forward to hosting in downtown Detroit!
