Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So far I have participated by surfing. Now that I'm back in the states, I hope to attend activities and host!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Extremely positive. I think this organization attracts a specific type of person with whom I get along well
Interests
Solid Conversation, celebrating life and going out with friends
Traveling and learning about the world and different cultures
I have a bit of an obsession with food, and eating in general.
Thai Basil Chicken is my absolute favorite dish on the planet.
In the past couple years or so, i've taken a liking to cooking and love learning how to make new dishes.
Love being outside in nature, and exploring new places
Thoroughly enjoy singing and dancing, however this can be rather problematic as i'm not particularly good at either.
I bought some toe shoes (Vibram Five Fingers) about a year ago, and ever since i've become a huge advocate of the minimalist running movement.
Playing sports (Ultimate Frisbee, Soccer, and Volleyball are a few of my favorites)
Watching sports (Most everything: Tennis, Basketball, Football, Cricket Soccer)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've seen (and heard!) is glaciers calving in Antarctica. On the same trip in 2003 I also watched the sunset, then just a few short minutes later watched the sun rise!
