Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine (@lebleus) highly recommended the site and told me to give it a try. I've been using Airbnb prior to this and its usually the best way to stay locally in a country because the host are the best guides to a new place. I've met many friends throughout my travels and I'm here to give couchsurf a try. Hopefully meet some likeminded people and save a couple bucks along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything, honestly I use to DJ one point in my life.
Movies - Matrix? What 30 year old would not love that movie
Books - The Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, many more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm also a full-time caregiver for my mother who suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig disease) of 6 years.
