Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time with some friends we went down the Hudson River with just our bathingsuits, sandals and a lifejacket. It was a great time with periods of high addrenalin pumping when going through rapids and peaceful periods just floating along. I think if I had to have one day stuck on repeat that day would be in the running.

-Recently, I swam (or "swum") with elephants!
