Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been couchsurfing for a while, but not through the website; I ping up acquaintances or friend of a friend and work out arrangement. As I travel more and more, I would need more 'local connection,' so I finally decided to join CS.org
I have also traveled through Airbnb in the past: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/3056282#reviews
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Haven't hosted, but surfed a couple times. So far I've met a few incredible people, and looking forward to meet more!
Interests
No particular order: fedoras, adrenaline rush, comics, friends' smiles, craft beers, roasted coffee aroma, brunch, Doctor Who, novelty t-shirts, 'Lorelei' my bicycle, IMAX movies, and that sensation of first bite into a PB and J sandwich. Beer tasting friends "Cards Against Humanity". Costume parties. (motor-)cycling. Crazy recipes in the kitchen. Food challenges. Run my dogs until they are tired. Impromptu karaoke to Pharrell's "Happy," with dance.

Music, Movies, and Books
On my desk: "A Song of Ice and Fire" collection, "Lost Symbol," Jeffery Brown, "Rolling Stone" with Lorde cover, Tina Fey "Bossypants," "The Black Hole War," comic books on Spider-man and Superman/Batman, and my friend's first manuscript
I have the biggest blu-ray/DVD/VHS collection anyone I know (yes, I did say VHS. I'm sure hipster culture would bring it back somehow.)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After November trip to Cozumel, I can proudly wear my badge (and self-designed tattoo) as an IRONMAN
I have extreme case of acrophobia, but I went skydiving once
Teach, Learn, Share
Long time ago I vowed to learn a new thing everyday; I love to meet and learn from anyone about anything
