CURRENT MISSION

To expand my eclectic treasure trove of life experiences

ABOUT ME

I am an inveterate traveller and I like nothing better than reading travel guides and scouting out new destinations. Couchsurfing also allows the world to come to me! Now, I am getting ready to go on another trip...

PHILOSOPHY

People are more precious than profit or possessions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few people, but because of my job that is usually only for 1-2 days.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited, but I like the philosophy immensely. I have only recently re-discovered Couchsurfing, but have hosted a few people and intend to do more couchsurfing when I am next overseas.
