Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting! But won't be hosting for a bit... sorry! Will do when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best friend Rhyll and dear friend Artemesia were/are the queens of couch surfing in Arcata. Is there ever a week that they don't have a surfer? I am sooo pleased with all of these wonderful human beings I have met. I also surfed for a week in Urumqi, China. My host was incredible! I also have talked to a girl by the name of Monica whom i met thru this website who reassured me that my decision to move to Villa de Leyva would be filled with friendly, beautiful people and new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Repkong on the outskirts of Tibet in Amdo/ Qinghai province. In the month I spent in Tibet, I would have to say that Repkong was the place where Tibetans really seemed to be able to do practice their religion and live in their culture without too much persecution.
