Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently took a trip with a friend to Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Monte Negro, Croatia, Italy, Germany, and surfed with very cool and interesting people. I was able to make some very good connections and learn about local customs and culture, and in turn share a bit of myself with my hosts.

I own a restaurant and bar in Seattle, and I help penny pinching travelers/couchsurfers by giving discounts on food and drink.

At the moment I cannot host, but will make myself available to meet up for a drink at The Lookout (my restaurant/bar) and provide insight on the city and its culture.
