Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Untill now I only surfed in the future I hope to host to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I found a host in NYC and I met some people to hang out with in NY.

Interests

I am into different cultures,languages,and amazed by all the small things that make people different. I want to learn new languages, develop and teach all different kind of skills. Yet to be discovered when we meet.

I teach tennis and skiing to kids (ages 5 to 15).

I like hitchiking, sports (any ball game) , going out and doing things unplanned, randomly.

Never the less I like dreaming. I'm also interested in finance, engineering, technology and aiming to start my own company one day.

And not to forget, ofcourse I like travelling :)
