Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used Couchsurfing whilst traveling in Europe. I now am a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama in the Comarca Ngabe-Bugle and am opening up my house to teach people about the indigenous culture of the Ngabe people and to provide a different experience for travelers in Panama.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed on two couches in Budapest and they were both very positive experiences! I also surfed in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Munich, Barcelona, and Marseilles. All were positive experiences and I am looking forward for more unique Couchsurfing adventures.

Interests

I like to read, play sports and travel. Enjoy learning about different cultures and walks of life. I like to ride motorcycles and the intimate connection to the road that it gives a person.
