HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I began hosting with my roommate as he planned his trip to the west coast and joined after meeting many new and interesting people. Up to now, I have only hosted other surfers, but I hope to surf myself in the near future. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have always crashed on friends' couches in different cities and am glad to have found a website dedicated to expanding that network around the globe. In hosting and attending local events, I have had a blast meeting new and interesting people and have enjoyed all the different cultures surfers come from.

I love live music, skiing and hiking. I enjoy learning and trying new things, especially foods. I also love beer of all different varieties.
