Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

it's a real shame that i haven't lived in one place long enough to settle down and HOST! so i have enjoyed the official couchsurf world mostly as a surfer - though before joining the site, there was lots of impromptu unofficial hosting that went on! i love to cook for my hosts if they'll let me in their kitchen, and that includes doing the dishes!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my CS experiences so far have been amazing!! i've been lucky enough to surf all kinds of "couches", from cozy, illegal squats to mansions of political officers! all have been wonderful and unique.

Interests

the "about me" section probably answers this question, but to sum it up, when i'm traveling i usually try to find the outdoor markets, quirky attractions, outdoor spaces, hiking spots, and a little corner to do some yoga. i also LOVE to cook, and will probably invade your kitchen. i travel with an instrument or two so let's make music! also, random activities excite me - foraging for wild foods, flying kites, swimming in the middle of the night... you get the picture!

i also have an embarrassing hobby - singing barbershop music. if you don't know what that is, look it up on youtube, maybe when you're drunk, and you'll probably find it as funny as i do.
