About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined a number of years ago during my time of wanderlust to meet people while traveling and host travelers that were in San Diego, California, where I was living.

I'm very grateful for all the amazing opportunities CS has offered!

Though now I'm focusing on other things in life now and am no longer active with couch surfing.
