Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My participation...in this organization....Is that what we must all, open our arms in welcome to one another...enabling positive universal interaction...is my action. More community, less seperatism!!! Being in another country is amazing, especially when yiu can leave the tourist path and walk with the locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed on many peoples floors and couches throughout my life. I wish to repay the favor and meet some new people from around the world and show them why I love my home and show them the beauty here. And, if I go to your home, you can accomadate my surfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumpd out of a plain, climbed a 5.6, and hiked straight into a fall storm that dropped 8 inches of snow all within 7 days. I ran 3 days in Pampalona, scurring from angry bulls when I was 19. I bungee jumped 300 meters in Switzerland, I've been through a military coup in Bangkok, I was half mile away from bombing. Ive scuba-dove in Borneo. I've smoked a huka with muslims in Israel. I've danced in the Love Parade, Berlin and Full Moon parties in Thailand. I've floated down the Meekong's deltas. I spent 2 weeks in the Amazon and drink Ayausca with a Shaman. I've been to Burning Man twice, Ive climbed the back door up to Machu Pichu, Ive hitch-hiked from canada to Nevada, Ive been in love, Ive been out of love, Ive driven through Europe, I got lost for hours in Amsterdam.....
