Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have just had the pleasure of being a couch surfer. But hopfully when things settle down here a bit I'll be able to host as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was kind of thrown into couch surfing when I didn't have a place to crash out in Denver. It worked out really well and I met some really great people. It was great way to make friends in a new city and get more familiar with the area. I'm hoping I will eventually be able to offer a couch to someone else as well. :)

Interests

Wandering around Dublin, reading, movies, doodling, trying to grow a few plants, looking for a job

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having been fortunate enough to move all over the US as a kid that would be pretty hard to decide on something specific I've seen or done in terms of places or activities. So how about I just say that I'm always impressed by people that reach out to strangers and become friends. It just makes life a bit more interesting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I abide by the do unto others rule, as cliche as it sounds. I believe that when in doubt, it's best to error on the side of kindness.

And to quote the great Mae West... "You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough".
