Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Curiosity keeps me meeting new people and visiting new places. As an ENTJ I like to think of myself as a healthy balance of extroverted and contemplative. I've been to 34 countries but currently live and work downtown Chicago. These are just a few of my favorite things (to do with others): brunch, coffee, hiking, diving, reading, yoga, sharing stories, and day dreaming about what tomorrow might bring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about couch surfing while backpacking in Israel. Some dude was surfing through the Middle East…my last "overnight" was a really great trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Now in my 30s…having coffee and hearing someones story is my favorite experience.
