Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend told me about his Couchsurfing adventures, and I grew curious. After browsing through the site, I'm now convinced that this is one of the most innovative and efficient ways to meet new friends, make new memories, and connect with the whole world.

Interests

Running - A true test of the human spirit.
Basketball - Ball is life.
Swimming - Because I can't run on water.
Hiking - The best way to do leg day.

Foreign Languages and Traveling - I love talking to new people and understanding new worldviews and cultures. (And eating exotic food!)
Graphic and Web Design - Both of which I want to learn more about and improve in.
Pokemon - "I want to be the very best, like no one ever was."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
