I love to run, climb, kayak, paraglide, dive, ski, bike, and generally explore the world. I love new foods, new places, and new people. I want to learn and grow and try as many new things as I can. I'm generally hardworking, enthusiastic, and fairly laid back. Can't claim to be too elegant :p

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends and get a different perspective of the places I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything with a good beat for dancing. Local music, indie music, pop music, and yes even country music.

Books - Harry Potter and the Little House on the Prairie were childhood favorites and will always hold a special place in my heart. Now I enjoy non-fiction and historical fiction of all sorts.

Movies - can't say I have a particularly deep knowledge of movies. I don't tend to sit still for long enough. But Forest Gump is a favorite.
