Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

ive been recruited by a friend with a similar passion for travelling and just seeing other cultures, and definitely plan to do the same. ive already sent a link to this website to everyone in my address book, i think the idea is amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

actually the first time i ever moved out of my parents house was onto a random couch of a friend, so my experiences start at 16. i lived on that couch for almost a year then i packed up and moved to another couch in seattle where i stayed for 6 months. i moved from there to new york but i had a bed while i was there, then back to seattle for 6 months, kaui (north shore) for a month or so, back to chico my home town for about a year, then on down to beautiful sunny santa barbara, back up the cali coast to santa cruz to complete my undergrad degree, completed my graduate degree in sunny san diego and now back in chico.. i live for adventures!
