Overview
About Me
People who travel and engage other culture are the coolest. Commercial hotels not as much.
When flying into a foreign country I've often been invited to sleep on someone's couch. Those were some of the best trips.
I've done hosteling in No and So America, Europe & China.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Advice about shopping and local lore are so much better from, well, a local.
