Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am fairly new to the CS project. Some local friends in Tahoe had a house that was open to surfers year round. I met some great friends and their house was always a blast. I was stoked that the project uses the internet to create a tangible social experience. I recently went to Europe with a friend and we had a really good time with our hosts. I'm currently living in South Lake Tahoe in a rustic cabin on the meadow. It's a great environment for travelers. Looking forward to bridging the cultural gap and meeting new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sport climbing with a friend in Arizona a couple of years ago. We found this beautiful remote location - It took an hour of off roading and some hiking to find this river gorge in the middle of no where. The rock was purple with quartz crystals, it was one of the most amazing spots I've ever climbed.
