ABOUT ME

Come on over and I'll answer any questions you might have.

PHILOSOPHY

I try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Tried hosting in Iraq but no one showed up, hosting in Bangkok now, much better response ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never surfed, will consider doing it on my planned trip to Laos.

visited 33 states (14.6%)

Interests

Everything related to technology interests me, I could easily fit the bill for terms like geek and nerd. On the other side I love sports in all shapes and sizes, my favorites would be, walking (hiking some call it), running, badminton, squash, climbing. Enjoy reading, studying, don't necessarily enjoy politics but have always actively followed/observed it ;).
