CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool people from all over the world!

ABOUT ME

I liked showing people around my hometown when I worked at a hostel downtown. CS was a natural step from there. Some friends introduced me to it, and I was hooked.

I like outdoor and endurance sports: biking, swimming, hiking, climbing, running.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went a lot of meetups in NC, and haven't been too active since moving to NY for work. Thinking of getting back into it!

I surf when traveling, and host people passing through town when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some folks; I surfed around england for a bit when I lived there before I found a place; I go to local CS group meetups for potlucks, drinks, or whatever is planned.
