Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have only couch surfed in Berkeley and in San Francisco so we don't have a lot of cs experience. We have had enriching experiences and look forward to meeting more couchsurfers! We don't get many requests, but we have hosted a couple of times now and have enjoyed hosting, too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We don't have a lot of couchSurfing experience although they have been enriching ones and definitely look forward to more! If you seriously would like to stay with us, please read our profile information carefully and then send us a msg. We only consider people who have couchsurfing profiles that are verified.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

High on the list is the trek to Machu Picchu. Another would be an overnighter in the Guatemalan jungle around Tikal and experiencing the sounds of the animals as they wake up to the false dawn that occurred early in the morning and then again later when the real dawn happened. Very magical!

Teach, Learn, Share

More than happy to share our passion for life and learning, engaging others to find their own brilliance, and great conversations about life.

Very interested in people connecting with each other through sharing authentic conversations that spark interest, curiosity, new ideas, or heartfelt personal stories. Created a project with a mission to create connection and community through story and music.

Digital stories, brainstorming ideas, and great recipes are some things we could offer.
