Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host when I'm not travelling!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had many couchsurfing experiences, all of which have been worth my while on this planet. It has shown me that the only thing separating us all is the borders we have divided ourselves with. My belief and experience has shown me that there is a hospitable side in each of us that is caring and nurturing. Couchsurfing can restore this for anyone and make one develop a true sense of gratefulness.

Interests

Nature, music, camping and bicycles.

  • dining
  • traveling
  • music
  • camping

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES; Sunshine, To kill a mocking bird, Little miss sunshine, Shawshank redemption, Garden State, butterfly effect, chris cunningham music videos TV Shows; House, Scrubs, The simpsons, MXC, Family Guy MUSIC;Classical (especially Chopin) Modest Mouse (Ugly Casanova), The Shins, Band of Horses (Carissa's wierd), Regina Spektor, Antiflag, 311, Me first and the gimme gimmes, alot of other artists that rock my socks, but never get heard/seen MUSIC GENRES; Traditional Cajun, Bluegrass, Folk, Techno, Blues, Experimental, Anything that sparks the soul. BOOKS; Into the Wild (Jon Krakauer)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bicycled across America. Would do it again in a heart beat....

Teach, Learn, Share

To share experiences as they come along is the best. Knowing that when you're old, you can someday look back in your mind and remember all the great people of the world.. its great and really hope to make more memories with everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will try to share food and my stories, hope that is enough for you. :)
