Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I hosted for the first time, I realized the amazing exchange of culture that Couchsurfing makes possible. I decided to surf in Cairo--it changed my life and made me realize that traveling is more about meeting people than visiting places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have gone on a two day rock climbing trip where I camped in a hanging tent anchored to a vertical cliff face and then rappelled down a mountain for an hour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to be exposed to more creativity--I'm hoping an artistic CSer will rub off on me.

I also love politics so if you have an opinion or some insights, I'd love to learn.
