Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure that I can host any people, my roommate isn't that into it. But, I'd like to hang with people who want to see weird parts of San Francisco. Or the normal stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a Swedish lady years ago in my on-campus apartment, for about two weeks, and she was the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i saw three kinds of rain smack against a glass bubble i was in, thick, thin, and sleet. I saw tiny spherical rainbows bubble up and cohere and slide and swirl. Then, there was gushing water, and I could see it like I was on the other side of a waterfall, but I didn't get wet. Then, there was a thunderous sound, pushing the wet beads out of sight as light filled my bubble again. I didn't care if we were going to Disneyland, let's go back through the car wash, I told my mom.

Teach, Learn, Share

i want to learn how to sail. i'm also interested in reading your writing and discussing it.
