For all the hosts and surfers out there: please know I love the idea behind couchsurfing, when I started I thought it was a miracle people would open up their homes and lives to strangers. Its sad people abuse it for a dating site or just a free place to stay. I don't mind if we don't spend much time together, but share a meal, or a walk, take time to connect. Please do not cancel on me last minute because you found a closer place to the party you wanted to go to, that is what hotels are for. Please put "I care about the idea of CS" In your request title so I know you have read this.

I love adventures, meeting new people and having new experiences. I love dancing, I have a little weenie dog named Destroyer.

Here is some information for new surfers from the website:

Be a Great Couchsurfer

Whether you’re traveling the world, hosting travelers, or making friends locally, being a conscientious and generous Couchsurfer will enrich the connections you make with the people you meet.

Share something

Be it stories, songs, food or your favorite coffee shop, Couchsurfing is about sharing and connection. Be open to giving, receiving, and discovering the unexpected.

Respect differences

Help make the world smaller and friendlier. The diversity of people across the globe is a beautiful thing, so contribute by respecting and appreciating those differences, be they cultural or otherwise.

Participate

Spend time with your host or surfer. Make new friends and help each other discover new things about the world. If you’re new to Couchsurfing, tap into your local community first. It helps to know people near you, so meet other Couchsurfers in your area by joining groups and events.

Be neat

Hosts, tidy up your space before Couchsurfers arrive. Surfers, leave it better than you found it. Keep your things in order and always clean up after yourself.

Connect

Finding a place to stay is just part of the Couchsurfing experience. More importantly, it’s about human connection. When you write a couchrequest, let hosts know why you think you’d enjoy each other’s company and what you’d like to contribute to your stay. When you’re there, get to know your host and their way of life. See what you learn.

Be reliable

If your plans change, let your host or surfer know.

Trust your instincts

When looking for other Couchsurfers, always carefully review their profiles and especially the references. Communicate through Couchsurfing to get a better sense of who they are.

Leave a reference

Be sure to leave references for people after hosting or surfing! References help other members make informed decisions. Leave truthful references that describe your experience with another member accurately.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to events and sometimes create some. So far I have hosted a sleep over in NY and a BBQ in Seattle Wa.I also try to help travelers when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I went to the San Fran area for a week. It was soooo amazing! Our hosts seemed almost more generous than my own family, and they didn't even know us! Such love shown by strangers is what this organization is all about. I highly recommend couch surfing to everyone. I have never had a creepy or uncomfortable experience. ALL the couch surfers/hosts I have met have turned out to be very trustworthy. And I have met many.

I just came back from couchsurfing in the Boston area for a month, by the end of it I ended up at the couchcrash in NY than flew to sanfran to camp out in the Redwoods for 4 days with the Portland Or couchsurfers, than eventually went home from there.

Intereses

I love meaningful relationships, swapping stories and experiencing life together. I love the feeling of rollerblading while a strong dog is pulling me. I love art! Painting, calligraphy, chalk, pastels, water color pencil, stipple and dancing! I have recently gotten into zoo bombing in my Rollerblades.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am so fascinated by this whole couch surfing culture, I love knowing that life can be bigger than this cubical life I live. And I know someday I'll be out there too exploring all that the world has to offer (I am now).
