I'm just a regular guy much like the rest of us.
- I am almost always down and excited to try something new.
- I don't like to judge anyone if their philosophies on life differ from mine. On the contrary I'd like to learn from a different perspective.
- I haven't done THAT much of extreme sports, but can safely say that I am an adrenaline junkie.
- I love to travel and learn about different cultures and customs.
- I am a peanut butter fiend.
- I love both, to go out and have a crazy night full of partying, and sometimes I would like nothing more than just chill on my couch with a cup of tea, a blanket, and a movie.

PHILOSOPHY
When people are too sick and old to do anything and their last breath leaves their lungs on their deathbed, it's not the things that they DO that they regret. It's the things that they DON'T DO. (I refuse to ever be in that position)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I always had a dream of traveling the world and learn about the local customs and traditions, and I can't imagine a better way of doing this than from the perspective of a local. Plus, hanging with someone you barely know is pushing the envelope of comfort zone and I am always for the expansion of that zone.

Interests

- Reading. ( a good book can go a long way)
- Movies.
- Writing.
- Drawing/Painting.
- Hiking. (Any new place, anywhere as long as there is a promise of some grand and captivating view)
- Exercising. Always pushing the body to the limit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving. Hands down. There has been nothing better than a sixty second adrenaline rush as I cut through the air while 14,000 feet in the sky outside of the flying vessel.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always down to learn a useful skill if someone is willing to teach me.
Share: stories, experiences, (my jar of peanut butter).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories and experiences from my travels. I can help practice ASL (American Sign Language) and Russian if that is in someone's interest. Other than that, I consider physical labor a great attribute of mine. I can cook, clean, pretty much anything around the house and with anything else that my host may need help with.
