Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever I can, and surf whenever someone will put up with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive surfed in Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and India. I have hosted a few people at my house here in red deer and its been great. Hosting people from other countries makes me feel like I`m traveling when I have to work!

Oh and actually CSing saved my basement from flooding, I was hosting a a couple and in the night they noticed water coming in to the basement and we we able to stop it, if they werent there my basement would have been wrecked!!

Interests

I enjoy sports and anything outdoors, hiking, biking, running etc. Not much for TV but I love watching movies, live music and a good party. And obviously travel. If I won the lottery I think I'd be a drifter for the rest of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tough one, I really fortunate in that I've gotten to see lots of the world. I just went to Nepal and hiked to the base camp for mount everest. Visited the Taj Mahal in India, went to machu pichu in Peru and Angkor Wat in cambodia. Also my friend and I hitchhiked 2500km around new zealand, sleeping in places we werent supposed to and eating dry wheetabix for breakfast and lunch. mmmmmmm delicious.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach? Ummm.. I worked in a nutrion shop in college so I know a bit about health and fitness. I studied commerce and ran a small business so I guess some stuff there.

I am a terrible dancer.... terrible. I should learn to dance. And my spanish is only slightly better than my dancing.
