Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just fun to meet new people and offer up my couch - warning, must love a cute fluffy dog!

i *travel* a lot, so my couch is only available a couple of days a month. I'll send a short 'doesn't fit schedule' note if unavailable. I am a workaholic and super-busy, but will be a gracious host and am happy to provide a reliable place for people to crash. Looking for self-reliant people who do not need much hand-holding (which is most people here, just wanted to be clear).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
