Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best thing about Couchsurfers is their excitement to share their culture, and adventure with you.

Interests

I love writing, reading, playing guitar, singing, tennis, having deep conversations about the world and and society and how to make it work...but most of all I love landing in a completely new place and discovering something extraordinary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ventured miles underground in a Bolivian mine, walking/crawling through tiny black tunnels - the mine still functions like it did 100 years ago, with crude carts to bring up silver and steep falls. Paid homage to "El Tio," the guardian idol deep underground, chewed coca leaves to keep my breath at the high altitude, and prayed to make it out!

I'm trying to learn Hindi.
