About Me

I love to travel. Travel is costly. I'm sharing my couch in hopes that in return I can find some free couches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet more people. And it's cheaper than expedia or hostelworld or airbnb.

  • running
  • reading
  • traveling
  • hiking
  • camping

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have favorites. But I like a lot of books, movies, and music. Movies maybe Casablanca. Book maybe 100 years of solitude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 8 years old, I jumped with a motorcycle from an airplane onto a 200 meter ramp built on top of a snow laden mountain. I flew off the ramp with the motorcycle into a canyon and opened two parachutes that were tied to the motorcycle. 50 meters above the water, I jumped off and executed a perfect head first dive into a 1 meter wide ice hole. Then I swam a 100 meters under ice in freezing water to find that the exit hole had frozen over. I swam back to find that the entry hole had also frozen over. So I caught a hammerhead with my bare hands and used its hammer to crack the ice. But the split was not wide enough, so I used its snout as a breathing device and climbed inside the hammerhead's mouth for warmth. I stayed there for three days. During that time I meditated, ate the hammerhead's insides and solved Hilbert's problems. Finally, I managed to crack the ice and surface. My mom was angry as I was late for dinner. As punishment she refused to remove the 100 pound weights she had shackled to my arms the previous year.
