About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet & Greet folks from all over

ABOUT ME

Hey All. I just joined this community after talking with a friend who recently couch surfed his way through Europe.I love the concept and would like to host and eventually sample a couch or two in the future. I have a small apartment here in Burlington, Vermont, a beautiful,culturally vibrant small city on the shores of Lake Champlain. I've got a nice long couch and a porch hammock for usage and I can easily open up my living room for further crashability. I provide care for folks with special needs and do handyman odd jobs on the side too

PHILOSOPHY

You only live this life once so adventure!
