A techie in his thirties. I enjoy both road and mountain biking as excellent ways to avoid staring too much at computer screen.

I do not like to follow typical tourist paths.

Photography has long been my hobby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The social part. Mostly I am forced outside my comfort zone, which is good.
