I like face-to-face interaction and learning about people and languages. Couchsurfing has proved to me to be a good way of achieving this.

I'm a part-time dad to a lovely and loving 12-year-old daughter, who visits and stays with me certain days of the week.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To couchsurf (as a guest), I greatly appreciate anything that a local can share with me of their insider insight into the place.

When I can't travel around the world, I bring the world to me by hosting travelers. I like interacting with people while they're on 'travel mode', which is unique and different from normal life interactions. It also keeps reminding me that life itself is also a journey.

兴趣

The pleasure of learning, and the other small pleasures life may offer. I like long walks, I work out regularly and care about having a healthy body and mind, and have, to this end, made great progress in the last three years.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have climbed mountains as high as 4,000 meters, gone on multiple-day hikes and a multiple-day cycling trip.

I lost 24 kilograms/~53 pounds by working out regularly and counting my calories.

教，学，和分享

My hobby is learning how to pronounce all languages like their native speakers (all the sounds of all languages) :) Couchsurfing , among other things, gives me some first-hand exposure to different languages of the world.
