CURRENT MISSION

To see the world before it all melts away.

ABOUT ME

Self-employed and working from home. Big fan of getting out of the city. Always looking for good conversation and equally good beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used CS during my cycling trip down the Pacific Coast. Happy to return the favor/pay it forward. I can host the occasional traveler or twosome. It's a small apartment but a great neighborhood.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several guests so far and all were very positive experiences. Hope to host more people in the fall.

Surfed on someone else's couch (spare room, actually) while in California and it worked great.
