Well gee.

I love climbing, hiking, and adventuring. I play the piano and enjoy discussions with people with different backgrounds and interests who can share a different perspective. I always enjoy a good discussion about philosophy, psychology, religion, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People all over the world love to travel; we ought to help each other do so. Sharing community resources--not just our couches and knowledge, but also our perspectives and insights--makes this huge world a little easier (and cheaper!) to experience.
