Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I am established in FoCo in a couple weeks I will be all about hosting surfers!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any couch surfing experience through this website, but I couch surfed all through college in 3 different states!

Interests

I love art, all art. Painting, photography, cinematography, drawing, graphic design, theater arts, dance, etc. I love skateboarding, hiking, backpacking, cycling, building and restoring furniture, creating art, watching movies (I don't watch much television, but I can get down on some movies!!), listening to music, I can shop for cloths and shoes all day, talking, meeting new people, trying new things, eating, cooking. The list really just goes on and on.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can watch hours upon hours of movies. I love all music, except most country (maybe like 3 country songs), books. I love reading, but I admittedly don't read too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 24 and opened my own skateboard shop. It only lasted 9 months, and took every single dime I had to my name, I even lost my home. I took up 3 jobs just to try and keep it afloat but it wasn't enough. But I gained so much experience and wisdom from that experience it made it totally worth it. Plus it had always been a dream of mine.

The second would be when I moved back from Redwood City, California because my grandfather had passed. At his funeral I spoke with so many people who knew him, men he had been in the navy with, his brothers and sister, other family and friends. I learned so much about him and the life that he led that I had never known. That was also the period in my life when I learned what it really meant to have a successful friendship, relationship and marriage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach people how to love, whole heartedly. I want to learn to cook all sorts of things, and gain wisdom about life from others who have had a completely different experience with life. I want to share all that I am. I only have one life to live, I want to leave a legacy behind for my friends and family.
