I am an American expatriate living in Malta. I lived in Plymouth, UK for two years before this. I also have EU citizenship from an Irish father, which is a big plus! I own a company, BASEDtraveler Books & Media, that hosts a lifestyles website and series of guidebook-style-narratives. We help expatriates living in military towns, port cities, industrial hubs, and university villages to find delight in their new homes.

Here is a link to the company website, with lots of useful information for living internationally: http://www.basedtraveler.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy having a "goal" when I travel, so having somewhere to find and someone to meet there is fun. I am not a big party-person but I have a very outgoing personality and a lot of energy, so Couchsurfing works well for me. I use the Couchsurfers website to network more than I actually use Couchsurfers to find places to sleep!
