Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started, but would like to contribute to a community that is interested in education through experience and communication. Helping travelers by providing an experience, some local knowledge, and a place to crash.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a bit during a trip to Belgium 2 years ago and truly enjoyed the experience. Met some great people and drank some great beers. A couple of our hosts stayed with me last year. My place is a bit crowded now, but I hope to participate more when my living situation is a bit different.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with sea turtles, snowboarded in Austria, watched a guard fall down at Buckingham Palace and struggle to get back up with the giant helmet weighing him down. I was born once. Drank some amazing beers in Belgium.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share the beauty of where I live whenever I can. I seek the same.
