Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've loved using CS when traveling and now that I'm mostly settled in Seattle, it's been a blast hosting people from all over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been involved for a while now and I love it. Had some great hosts while traveling and have met amazing people from hosting.

Interests

I love sitting around all day reading good books. I also love to hike, run, ski, surf, swim, and bike. I like to paint and I've just started stretching my own canvases, which is great. I really love language and learning new ones is something I'm slowly trying to do (it's taking me forever just to nail down spanish). Travel - obviously. Although I'm a novice I do like cooking when I can make time. I love sailing, something I've only recently been learning to do. Seattle's a great place for basically anything outdoors. I really just love new experiences, if it's free, I'll try almost anything once.
