I like to understand the world around me. I'm still trying to take it in and there's so much I don't know yet. I will say I believe in the Golden Rule. I'd like to see us help each other instead of trying to use and manipulate each other-that's what I'm working on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I've used Couchsurfing to make new friends and experience new places with an insider's perspective. I'm on kind of a hiatus from the site, but I expect I'll do more in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has opened my mind, and enriched my life. I found it from a friend in 2008 and have had great times every since. I've experienced the places that I've stayed in a way that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Having a friend wherever you go changes the whole picture. The world is smaller, in a good way.
