PHILOSOPHY

The only way to have a friend is to be one first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer travelers a place to stay when they visit my current home. I offer food and drink, and like to go out on the town. Daytona Beach and St Augustine are close. Enthusiastically is how.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had couch surfers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Asheville, North Carolina - Anaconda, Montana - and Tallahassee, Florida. I have surfed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Asheville, NC, Tallahassee, Florida - Boone, NC - Key West, FL - New Orleans, LA - Atlanta, GA - Charleston, SC - Savanna, GA - Alexandria, VA - Birmingham, AL - Jacksonville, FL - Knoxville, TN - Detroit, MI - San Diego, CA - Lake Tahoe, CA - and I did it all before joining CouchSurfing. I also have camped everywhere in between! I once stayed in my Father and Step-Mother's retirement property, worked as a ranch hand for a month. I even lived in a circus coach's carport for three months while attending FSU.
