Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used CS to find people to hang out with in new cities, couchsurfed in Paris, and hosted at my home in Atlanta. It's such a great way to meet interesting people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As anyone who's been to Paris in the summer can tell you, finding a place to stay is no easy task. I was unable to find anywhere to stay up until 12 hrs before i got there, and was prepared to sleep on the street if i had to! A number of CS requests later, i was not only able to avoid sleeping on the street, but met some really awesome friends to spend the next week with!

Music, Movies, and Books

Shoegaze, dream pop, and 90s hip hop.
Documentaries, sci fi and comedy classics, Wes Anderson, good stuff.
These days it's mostly non-fiction, but I sure am a sucker for Margaret Atwood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met Matt Groening once. That was pretty rad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about photography, skateboarding, music, coffee, environmental issues, Portland and Atlanta, and the Simpsons. And, well, a lot of stuff. Let's just say i'm a valuable member on a trivia team.

Also, I'm pretty good at charades.

I'd love to improve my bad Spanish and French, and learn, well, pretty much anything and everything. I just like learning.
