Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have had a great CS experience. I think it is a wonderful social experiment that reinvigorates traveling and gives me faith in the human condition. I've met some great people, and made good friends as well. I see couchsurfing as a way of going beyond traveling, to gain the most out of every experience, but most of all a way to gain new perspective by meeting new and different types of people.
Music, Movies, and Books
I read anything, right now I am reading a lot of books on Turkish history and a lot of yoga philosophy. I love all types of music and have never discriminated against a movie!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hiking on Denali mountain in Alaska, the US's highest mountain...seeing grizzly bear and moose...definitely my most amazing experience
My Interests
Yoga!, Hiking, traveling, coffee,reading, learning, listening, languages, anything that challenges me to grow.
