Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

New to Couchsurfing site and look forward to exploring this community. I grew up with exchange international and athletic students. Traveled as an exchange student myself, before adopting an expat lifestyle during college years.

I am starting a new job the will put me on the road full time. Look forward to connecting with new friends as I move about the country.

I own a few houses sheltering family in the Seattle and Portland area that are sporadically available to share, especially once we are friends.
