Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Mostly host in the States, UAE, Peru, Africa...just meeting new people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosting, some surfing and meeting all sorts of people.
Interests
Music - I enjoy sharing and being introduced to all kinds of music; rap, reggie, indie, trance, house, acoustic, rock, bubble gum pop, old school country, disco, Always going to concerts and show and any types of live music, I'm in. Also love playing any instrument I can get my hands on eventhough I suck or even a microphone or a stage and I'll start rap'n rap'n rap'n
Sport - Into watching/playing American Football, basketball, baseball, surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, rugby, running, golf, swimming, tennis, squash, Gaelic Football, was even a member of the Abu Dhabi Aussie Football Team, anything that will burn all this extra energy God gave me.
Outdoors - Up for anything to get me outside, treks, hikes, scuba dives, bikes, walking, beach, fishing, kick'n it by a pool, naps in a hammock, I'm in the construction biz so I spend a bit of time outdoors.
Ocean/Beach - I was born and raise on the beach and it's hard to live too far from it, so I try not to.
Travel - The thing to me about traveling that means the most are the people. A few years back when I started this crazy thing call Couchsurfing I never imagined I'd meet so many unbelievable people from all over the world. At that time I had never left the Northern Hemisphere and after I had these experiences with these people it felt as if I need to get out there and create my own stories and experiences, which was probably one of the main reasons I uprooted and now living the traveling, expat life.
Parties/Bars - I like having a few brews, listen to tunes and chat with good people at any venue. Not afraid to have a party, be the party or crash a party. Love me a dive bar, cold brew, pool table and jukebox.
Family & Friends - These are the people that make life worth living. Words can't describe how fortunate I am to have the most unbelievable friends and the greatest most loving family. It pains me to be so far away but I think about them often and cherish the time I will see them next.
