Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in Wilmington, NC I was able to host a number of excellent couchsurfers.

While in Europe I was able to meet a couple of cool people while surfing.

While traveling around the US I made a lot of wonderful new friends and surfed on lots of lovely couches.

I love hosting and meeting new folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The CS community is an amazing group of people and I've made lots of new friends through surfing and hosting.

Interests

I'm the type that's at least a little interested in everything. But specifically, I enjoy playing music {mandolin, fiddle}, reading good books, watching great shows, and drinking, talking about and making beer {and other delicious beverages}.
