Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like to travel, and the experience of travelling is really enhanced by meeting people who live locally. I have done one couchsurf and used CS to meet people (something I hope to continue). Usually I won't need a place to sleep as I'm happy to stay at hotels, so mainly I'm just looking to meet up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of everything. I have very eclectic taste. Country Western music is about the only genre I can't seem to develop a taste for. I love classic films. One of the things I love about travelling is that I get time to read. I try to alternate between light fiction and classics which are a bit more of a challenge to read (but more rewarding in the long run).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran up Pike's Peak at age 18. Took me about seven hours to get to the top. I went without any water!
