Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like surfing to get to know people, exchange knowledge, and most importantly feel like I belong in a community. I do not surf to save a quick buck. i have couchsurfed in Mexico, Panama, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Bali, Singapore and Thailand, Portugal, France and China. I like experiences where we share with others and enjoy good company

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Arriving at the tiny island of Fatu Hiva after 28 days of open water sailing from the Galapagos Islands. We saw no other person or land for a whole month and then we saw the the breathtaking 'Bay of Cocks' (Baie des Verges) come out of the mist like the Lost World!
