CURRENT MISSION

To meet other adventure minded people

ABOUT ME

I am some what of an adventure seeker. After graduating from university, I took a job on a remote island in the pacific (RMI). After that I travelled the US visiting family and crashing on their couches. Then I moved to Istanbul where I was doing international sales for a manufacturing company. I was the only non-Turk working here. Now, I unfortuneately live in southeast Texas (Beaumont). It's not the best place to live, but I have a good job for a good company with good career growth potential. It's a trade off.

PHILOSOPHY

İ dont really know how to answer this question. İ like challenges, but there are few things that i actually still want from life. İ do things for the challenge of doing it, or for the knowledge gained.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent lots of time on couches! Two weeks on various couches in Norway, two weeks moving through Germany, France, Holland and Belgium on couches, About 3 months on various couches in the US, 2 weeks on couches in Turkey... the list goes on. I have basically been doing this ever since I discovered the joys of travelling in the summer of 2003. Since then I have never stopped. I have always used my own international friend network, but now that I have found this site, I am excited at the endless new oppurtunities that are available.

Musica, film e libri

I just finished reading "Survival of the Sickest." It's a new way of looking at evolution and disease. Incredibly fascinating book. If you know any other books that along the same lines, please tell me.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Hot air ballooning over the valley of the kings in Luxor, Egypt, at sunrise. Completely took my breath away.

Insegna, impara, condividi

If you like boardgames, I am the guy to talk to. My number one hobby is boardgamming, and I have played Diplomacy, my favorite game, in seven different countries.

İ also have a plethora of funny stories from my various adventures and i love story telling.
