Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting fun, open-minded, generous and spontaneous people. When I couchsurf, I offer my hosts my art in return. I'll be honest with you: I expect couchsurfers who want to stay with me to be able to offer something and thus contribute to my life in their own way. It's up to you to figure out what you've got to offer. But if you have nothing to offer and just need a couch to crash on, don't bother contacting me - I'm not going to be interested.
