Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

*****I travel for work Mon-Thu/ Fri and can't host you during weekdays ***

Offering couch at my place wherever I live. Please read 'My Home' situation and only then send requests. Also, I really prefer to host folks who have hosted before, unless you are awesomatic. This helps you understand how sometimes hosting is not really fun. Also, helps avoid numerous requests. Trust you understand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Time to show-off, but heck, here it is:
1. Rode a single-speed bicycle with just a minimal backpack (no tents/ sleeping bags) from Minneapolis to Chicago, a distance of 750+ km on the backcountry roads
2. Solo hiked/ Climbed the highest peak in Argentina (~7000m, actually, highest peak outside of the Himalayas)
3. Ran (not hiked) the Grand Canyon (South Rim to North Rim to South Rim) just for fun. ~50 miles and 20,000 ft+ elevation change
4. Could possibly still play Chess blindfold (not looking at the Chessboard)
5. Love Science, Mathematics (trying to be smarty pants)
