Hello, and welcome to my profile!

My name is Christopher and I'm an engineering student from California, United States.
I do a lot of volunteer work, and run some non-profit organizations.
Some hobbies I enjoy are yoga, hiking, surfing, etc. One interesting activity that I picked up within the past year is social dancing. It's tricky, but such a fun and exciting challenge!

I love exchanging ideas, seeing new sights, and tasting different foods - look forward to sharing some with you! :)

I do occasionally post some of my travels, which can be seen here: http://instagram.com/ingochris

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I began traveling a little bit recently, and thought this would be a great opportunity to save some money while learning more about local cultures by socializing with the people.
