HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I am a wealth of information on NYC, western Massachusetts and Boston and, of course, NW Ohio. I'm willing to chat on the phone or meet for coffee if you have intentions of moving or visiting these places. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE In 1998 I traveled in Up With People and for the year we were gone, we stayed with host families. This experience set the stage for how I choose to now travel. It has also opened me up to the possibility of doing the same.

The sunset over Sienna, Italy, from the top of the church, the natural bridges in Bulgaria- toss up. Or watching the birth of both of my younger siblings who were born at home... that was pretty awesome!
