Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with CS was on a trip this past spring. I met with some CS-ers in Malaysia and it was a lot of fun. I got to meet some very interesting people.

Interests

Mostly I'm interested in outdoor sports like hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing. I also want to start water sports (rafting, kayak,etc), but I need to learn how to float.
