CURRENT MISSION I want to visit every country before I croak. So far, I have been to 54 countries, and I have loved them all. ABOUT ME I've surfed and hosted all over the world. I am very open-minded to almost any activity, so if you want to do something physical like hiking, I’m in. If you want to appreciate an art museum, I’m in. If you want to show me your esoteric hobby, I’m in. If you want to go out and party, let’s go! I really take pride in providing good hospitality and maintaining a clean, safe home. If you’re actually interested in Ohio, allow me to be your white-trash ambassador 🤣I know plenty of things to do in the immediate area and plenty of things to do within a few hours of my home. PHILOSOPHY Open-door philosophy

I’m just your average friendly musician/college professor/nerd/introvert. Committed Christian. Happily single. 40 years old, quiet, clean, and private.

CURRENT MISSION Learn to live beyond myself and love without condition. ABOUT ME We are both medical professionals, but during our free time, we enjoy staying active and leading a healthy lifestyle. We love both exploring our own city and traveling to others, which includes meeting and learning from new people, trying new activities, and engaging in community events. Welcoming, hosting and practicing kindness towards new people give us joy, which is why we participate in couchsurfing. Feel free to friend one of us on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/summitshah

CURRENT MISSION Host and meet new friends around the world ABOUT ME Ummmm dont really have much to say but i think they would say am social funny outgoing and loving. I am an outgoing, adventurous and fun person. I survive this world by trying my best to enjoy every moment of it. Though that doesn't always happen. :D For my friends they see me as a bit crazy and wild, yet, they still stay as my friends, so I believe I have to have done something right! I am not sure what to write here,I love education and hate schooling. I try to do stuff out of the box, or at least that's what I think. Through my experiences you only live once and enjoy life as you can WORK HARD and PLAY HARD. PHILOSOPHY Make art to start conversation in your community; build in the world up to be more helpful and generous with its resources; power to the people; listen to everyone and work together to make a more caring society.

CURRENT MISSION I want to explore my city, explore the world, meet fun people, and learn languages! ABOUT ME My name's Dana. I love to travel, meet people, do arts and crafts, cook/bake new things, and write! Right now I'm living and teaching in Columbus, Ohio. I have traveled all over the world and enjoy talking about cultural experiences with others. I live in a cute little house with my husband and son.

Hey! So you've found your way to my profile. Welcome! My name is Stephanie and I am from Ohio, USA. I just moved to the big city and started working a social worker. I’m aiming to start my masters degree next fall. I want to be someone that people can come to when they need help. I want to change the lives of people who are suffering and make the world a better place. Am I naive and crazy to think that I can do it? Maybe.. But I'm going for it anyways.

CURRENT MISSION To build a side business involving robotics and to get back into shape. ABOUT ME I have an education in the liberal arts and a Masters in Architecture, but leaned in to the technology side of the arts shortly thereafter. I lead a Design Computation group at an architecture firm -- which means that I write algorithms for architects and build R&D prototypes of technologies that can enhance our experience of the built environment. Architecture has brought me to dozens of countries over the years and I've met a lot of great people, discovering Couchsurfing along the way. -- About us... I worked for 7 years before going back to school for architecture. I was a book editor, photographer, and filmmaker (super-8 and 16mm, medium format). Then I became an art-house film curator for a few years. During school I also worked as the architectural exhibits curator. As you might guess, I gravitate towards anything related to art, culture, and human expression. I've worked off and on for a large architectural firm for the past 7 years, with a brief foray into the tech world, spending a year at a startup in Silicon Valley. My wife is a sign language interpreter and we met when I was in grad school. We love people who have a unique outlook, people with a rich sense of humor and a way of finding enjoyment in the little things in life. We love people with knowledge and skills who aren't afraid to use them. (For good, not evil!) We're not religious and we're fine with anyone who doesn't try to force their religion on us. See you around CSers! PHILOSOPHY Love the variety of life; relish both our insignificance in the universe and the significance of our smallest actions.

CURRENT MISSION I am building a life in Montreal after living in Ohio for most of my life. ABOUT ME I love laughing, not at the expense of others, and I love helping someone who needs a break. I change tires, breathe in deeply, climb trees, bike through rainstorms for Donuts at the 24-hour place. I like people who like helping people. Learning about languages and cultural conventions thrill me, make of me a giant kite in the air. PHILOSOPHY Be a Coyote. This means go out and do it, go against the non-coyote grain, sing loud, laugh hard, help always, stand your ground, blast country music, or preach against the bigotry in some of its songs.
