I'm new to couchsurfing so I'm not too clear on the social norms of requesting and matching process.

If I've written too much, apologies. Grateful that there's a community like this, and I hope I'll be able to stay with you and pay it forward.

Hi, I'm David.
I'm a soon to be published author.
I create habit foundation programs.
And I'm also a habit coach. That's the professional side.

I used to consult with company execs on their product at a firm I co-founded called Simplicity Labs.
(www.simplicitylabs.co)

The personal side I can kick it almost with anyone. Younger, similar age, or older doesn't matter...AS LONG AS as we're keeping the energy and mindset positive and open. I accept those who are more pessimistic, but I rather surround myself with open, positive people.
