Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing for the experience. I want to meet interesting people and share some good conversation and experiences. I think when you travel, if you can stay with someone from the area that can show you around, it makes for a much more comfortable and richer experience. I hope to find that when I surf, and will also do my best to provide that to those who I host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aside from my really high score in Angry Birds? Hmmm, I recorded a CD in high school. I still record some of my music at home. You can check out my stuff here:
