CURRENT MISSION

Learn more about other cultures and lifestyles, experience them firsthand, and enjoy my time abroad

ABOUT ME

I love soccer, travelling, listening to most music, going to concerts, practicing and improving my French, and trying to fit in to other cultures

PHILOSOPHY

I never let poor circumstances to disrupt a good experience. Always focus on the positive aspects. For example, my mother broke her leg in London 2 years ago only 3 days into our 10 day trip. She missed Mama Mia and the Man U soccer game, but we teamed up to help her up and down the metro stairs once we were in Paris (I was the wheelchair carrier). She ended up getting a front row view of the Mona Lisa when we visited the Louvre because France was going through wave of handicap accessibility social uproar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm not in a position to host anyone, but I'd like to be a part of the massive network that is Couch Surfing. And when I am in a position to accommodate travelers, I want to consistently provide a place to stay for people in the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS and have not had any experiences yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Manchester United play West Ham in London in 2007. I was kicked by a drunk fan who was being dragged away by two constables for crossing the yellow line.

I can provide any host an unforgettable experience because the acquaintance step is bypassed, and I immediately engage anyone willing to spend time with me.
