Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the chance to do some couchsurfing with a few top-notch people during my time in Europe, and it was such a life-giving experience. I've also been able to meet a lot of wandering couchsurfers, though I've yet to have my own couch to offer. Sorry bout it, folks.

Interests

Engaging with people individually, anywhere and everywhere - over food, language-learning, new activities, celebrations, etc.

Reading a book.

Playing with your dog.

Tramping through the woods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam in a lake, which was in a volcano, which was within a larger lake, inside of a larger volcano. What?! Yes!

Seeing the color of the water and the grandeur of the waterfalls while hiking in Havasupai.

Meteor showers in the clearest skies of the Philippine Islands.
