Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am traveling the States with my partner in crime, Brooklyn (http://www.couchsurfing.com/people/brooklynjay), so I only have the opportunity to surf. I look forward to hosting more when (if...?) my bones decide to settle down at some point.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've honestly never had a bad experience. I've found the CS community very open minded and armed. Each person I surf with has their own unique perspective on life and I enjoy the teaching/learning/experiencing process that takes place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled across the United States on freight trains from Washington to Georgia. I floated on lakes of glass, on steel and iron, to the sound of violins and a full moon singing blues softly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have something to teach you.
You have something to teach me.
This much I know.

Maybe specifics happen when we meet. Love.
