Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a couple times while traveling in Europe. I am interested hosting people and showing them around the Bay Area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Best Couch in Czech Republic: David Novak.

Interests

Futbol. Volleyball. Tennis. Raquetball. Snowboarding. Wakeboarding. Surfing. Bodysurfing. Mountain Biking. Road Cycling. Campıng. Fishing. Canyoneerıng. Yoga. Climbing. Go-karts. Paintball. Laser tag. Pretty much anything involving the outdoors and movement.

Cooking. Reading. I tend to procrastinate by finding new music to listen to.

Traveling with friends. Picking up new languages on the fly. Having adventures go bad but turn out to be awesome in the end.

I am really into local, community stuff: events, theaters, concerts, markets, restaurants, etc.
