HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING started on a trip to Maui..didn't need a place to stay, but went on CouchSurfing hoping to meet some interesting, fun, knowledgeable locals for coffee, local events, a walk and a chat... And I surf. I wanted to have someone to surf with. Was such a great experience, I wanted to extend the same vibe and local knowledge to others... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Minimal, but I've traveled extensively and have unofficially couch surfed (and hammock surfed, cave surfed and tree house surfed) and have also hosted many travelers I've met along the way.

Indie films, documentaries,and an inexplicable love of Jackie Chan movies. Love all types of music. Currently reading a Benjamin Franklin biography concurrent with a Carl Hiassen novel.
