About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and the people in it

ABOUT ME

I'm a mild mannered computer dork during the day and a bit of a partier at night. I tend to fit the old cliche, work hard, play harder! I'm a recreational abuser of the adrenaline gland, surfing, snowboarding, kayaking, but you most likely won't find me doing of the really crazy stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat drink and be merry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've know of couch surfers for a few years and always tell people that I know are traveling about it. I had been hosting for a few months in my apartment building building, and had some complaints so had to stop, but still enjoy meeting others travelers.

Interests

I like to stay active. Urban hiking has been my main thing lately, but I like surfing, snowboarding, kayaking, scuba. Recently tried to pick up rock climbing, but never really got into it. I also enjoy playing guitar and going to see live music. I'd like to learn to dance a little better - I've taken a total of 1 salsa class. Other random interests would be psychology, economics, politics
