CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, Easy going, and Well read. I enjoy adventure and spend most of my time planning for my travels or adventures :-)
I love meeting people, especially from different backgrounds. Being in US has allowed me to meet people from all over the world, and I truly consider that as the best part of my experience here so far.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe life should be lived. We all exist, but living takes a desire, motivation and effort.
I truly believe in adventure and look at it as a way of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS, but not to traveling :-)

I plan to learn from fellow travelers and use this as an opportunity to meet like minded people around the globe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far good, but I am still relatively new and have mostly hosted people at my apartment in Alabama. However, I have met people thru another website called travbuddy while traveling in Europe and it thoroughly enriched my experience as a whole. I realized the benefits of seeing a place from a local perspective and am hooked.

Interests

Traveling, Photography, Motorcycles, Adventure Sports, Cultures, Politics, Nature, Music, and FOOD!
I am interested in most things, except maybe sports and Holywood gossip ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped from 15,000 feet.
Got lost on a motorcycle in remote mountain region of Ecuador (Intag) at night.
Rode my Yamaha R1 on a racetrack and completed Level 1 Superbike certification.
Snorkeled with Reef Sharks.
Climbed a Volcanic Mountain and heard it roar.
Climbed Trolltunga!
Climbed a coconut tree all the way to the top.
Saw a Wild Tiger from less than 10 feet.
... and many many more! Some put most of their money in banks, I put mine in memories.
