PHILOSOPHY

In the basement, we have a ping pong table. Fair enough. (actually, the pingpong table has been replaced by a pole...to support the house that is.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We participate by providing couches and offering our guests spicy food. Years from now, these couchsurfers will remark, "Damn that shit was spicy, and there was a couch involved!"

We throw famously epic parties varying from life music to dj dance parties to packed-to-the-brim dinners and other such things. If we don't have a couch to share chances are we'll have a gathering we'd love you to come to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We usually just offer our home to travelers. Kat surfs regular when she's going abroad. More importantly though, we are all open and we welcome people in our lives.
Also the languages that we listed are sometimes current but there's a lot of flux- if we don't currently speak your language sorry!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Together we've played in D.C. igloos made in the middle of Snowmaggedon, joined the city in a thousand person snowball fight, traveled together to Costa Rica, convinced the nice police and neighbors not to shut down our 5am parties, cooked feasts of Thanksgiving dinner, birthday dinners, and weekly dinners, and celebrated our roommates three day engagement to courthouse wedding and reception celebration at our home. We love this beautiful world with all its chaos, frustrations, insecurities and flaws, and the kick-ass people that make it wonderful.
