Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I connect with people around the world. I have surfed in Japan and China.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experiences, I surfed under a friends account through China and Japan and met some amazing people. Now I'm hoping to do the same under my own account!

Interests

I love anything sports related playing or watching, Photography, Learning and debating politics. Traveling, running, writing, hiking, being outdoors, camping, singing, playing piano (although I'm not very good), listening to music, meeting new people. I swear I'm not as cliche as this makes me sound.
