I live the dream!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a guy named Mohammed in India and he invited us to get off the train early at his stop and stay with him and his family. It was amazing. I learned more about the Muslum religion in those two days than I had in the 25 years leading up to them. We didn’t always agree during our discussions, but we both always understood there is more than one way to look at any issue. Some of the best conversation I have ever had.

Interests

Well, you probably already figured out traveling. I also like scuba diving, skiing (I was on ski patrol for five years during college), photography, rock climbing, camping, moto-cross, sky diving, bungy jumping, whitewater rafting and of course, learning.
