Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During 2009-2010 I spent 6 months traveling around the world to meet new faces and experience new cultures. Along the way, I strived to have a positive influence on every individual I met. Being a traveler, nothing beats great hospitality. I have received amazing hospitality from people around the world, and hope now, I can pass it on...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a PADI scuba instructor in Bali via CS. Great experience - obtained certifications up to Rescue Diver.
Halloween '09 in Charlotte with Jackie and Emma. Wahoo!
Hosted Emma at the beach a few nights.
