Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first time... I imagine this is a place where I can meet strangers that are simply open-minded people wanting to connect with others that are like-minded. I hope to meet for outdoor sports and/or engaging conversation to make every day of my summer vacation a blast!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just bewildered by how CS has managed to bring out the best in human nature. How spending time with complete strangers enriches one's life and ideals. I'm afraid this may be addictive :-)

Interests

TENNIS, dancing, running, triathlons, swimming, cycling, politics, cooking, travelling, great books, and engaging conversation!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Jumped on my bike and made 400km on a tennis/cycling tour around
the unbelievable natural beauty of Poland's countryside!
got chased by reindeer across the Scandinavian Laplands;
* discovered the streets of gold in Dubrovnik;
* lucky to get a private tour of the Pyramids of Giza with a serenade of Scottish bagpipes for a special party;
* made myself dizzy starring at the parabolic aesthetic beauty of Siena's town square (Italy);
* felt something funny when allured by the mysticism of Hagia Sofia in Istanbul;
*survived a 5.0 mega hurricane off the island of Martinique;
* forever in love with majestic mountain views... in so many countries! Mt. Hood in Oregon being the most beautiful;
