Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I signed up for this site in 2009, before a trip to the Balkans. Met some kind and interesting people in Albania and Serbia, and figured I might be able to return the favor, so I hosted a bunch of people while I was living in Washington DC. I then lived in Afghanistan for almost three years. It was impossible to host where I was living, but during that time I met people through CS on travels in.... France, Italy, UAE, India, Iceland, and other places I'm sure I'm forgetting.
I then hosted a number of people while I was living in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California, and then in Dubai, UAE, and then in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Now, have just moved to Black Mountain (near Asheville), North Carolina, USA.
Interests
Swimming. Law. Travel -- and hosting travelers as a proxy. Afghanistan. Eastern Europe. The United States -- I've been to all 50 of them. Surfing (on a surfboard, in the ocean surf...).
