About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard about CS in some of my travels and wanted to find out all about it. To meet people locally that live similarly and to make friendships. And to build/understand the network for traveling abroad.

Interests

Trying everything at least twice.
Venturing outside my known comfort zones.
Making 'trial' friends when off hiking/camping/traveling
Being outdoors (hiking, scuba, skydiving, kayaking, etc)
Expanding my views and beliefs through conversation and drinks
Games (card games, board games, chess, etc)
And so many more....

  • drinking
  • board games
  • chess
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • outdoor activities
  • hiking
  • kayaking
  • camping
  • scuba diving
  • skydiving

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to music, my mood and the day dictates what I listen to.
I love to read during the winter months, almost always non-fiction.
Some top movies: Legend of the Fall, Alone in the wilderness (1990's documentary), Into the wild, Heat, Meet Joe Black, just to name a couple.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always worked to free myself from the settled lifestyle, never tried to conform to societies expectations.

Teach, Learn, Share

That's what life is about: Teaching what you know to others wanting to learn, Learning from others what they have to share, Sharing make life richer.

Countries I’ve Visited

Italy, Mexico
