Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would love to help travelers by offering a couch or coffee, don't hesitate to ask!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While studying abroad in Stockholm a roommate of mine hosted some surfers, and I was introduced to the CS community. It was a blast meeting a new traveler in the commons area every week!

Interests

Traveling (real traveling! Not checking boxes or tagging maps.... Taking your time to know the back alleys and to meet the locals on a more personal level is what interest me.... I'll leave the speedy journeys of short agendas to others). Reading, Cooking, Napping during a thunderstorm, Playing with rowdy kids, Culture, World Economics, Development, Entrepreneurship, Photography, Writing, Old Muscle Cars, Art, Drama, Live Music, Dancing (especially Latin) and anything Cuban.
