I'm passionate about traveling and meeting new friends. Every trip I take makes me more humble and mindful for the kindness, trust and joy that others share with me. Truly traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. I love the outdoors: I bike, kayak & backpack in summer and snowboard, hunt and hike in winter. Flying airplanes, scuba diving and riding motorcycles are other hobbies i do periodically. I have a beautiful daughter and she makes me happy on daily basis :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not asking for free housing and I'm not expecting my guests to do that either, CS is a social experience by meeting adventurous people to learn and share experiences, I hold lots of respect to those hosts who open their hearts and host people who they never met before, I find this is great way to build trust in humanity and meet good-hearted people and make life-long friends. The concept of CS is very similar to the culture I grew up with; welcoming strangers unconditionally
