CURRENT MISSION

Just like the screen name implies, cultural hospitality.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience new cultures. I used to travel a lot more before I settled down with my family here in Cincinnati 7 years ago. Now I travel vicariously by hosting. I host adults through the ILVP US State Deparment programs that the Greater Cincinnati World Affairs Council administers (I am on their executive board) and have been hosting international exchange students for the last 4 years. I have pictures to share but can't seem to get them to upload...can email them for now until I get the technical issue sorted out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS project but am open to travelers and wouldn't mind taking advantage of someone else's willingness to host me now and then.
