The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return - Nature Boy,Eden Ahbez

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new on couch surfing. I've been traveling for a while now, and I'm looking to meet amazing people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing, but in my travels, the times that people have informally invited me to stay in their homes have been among my most rewarding experiences. A Syrian journalist, a couple Turkish mechanical engineering students, an Italian Paramedic. Often times I meet lots of travelers, but fewer locals while traveling.

Interests

I've spent a lot of time dancing, I love it, and I'm good at it. I also would like to spend more time playing music with people. I'm not all that great, but I like doing it.

The world would be a better place if everyone knew how to swing out, and played the ukulele.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in NY with some of the best friends ever has been my most amazing recent moment.

Climbing Agung in the dark with a couple of sarong wearing Danes in the dark, without a lamp comes to mind as a pretty crazy time.

Aside from that, the most awestruck moments are the few fleeting ones I've had when I realize that I am an inseparable from all of existence, and everything is perfect exactly as it is.
