Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time CSing. Alot of my friends do it. I usually stay at Hotels, Pensiones, or with friends when I travel. I just want to try it out.

Interests

Making Recycled Art, driving my birdhouse truck, amateur photography and traveling. I have lived in five countries: Philippines, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and now the United States and have traveled over 40 plus countries. I go through my passport pages every two to three years so I travel quite a bit for work and pleasure.
