PHILOSOPHY

Art, art, and some more art please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By having conversations that inspire the spreading ideas that shape a creative outlook towards life.Giving books to people hopefully exposing them to something that opens up a different part of their thought process.I would also enjoy any time just hanging out for coffee or drink and having a nice time socializing. In the future when I have the opportunity to host I will be more than willing to have fellow surfers stay at my home in California.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

AMAZING. If I meet you I will relegate many a fine tale too many tell!
