About Me

I love to travel. I'm open minded so I love to learn about new places and people. I'm also a professional basketball player (but without the huge money contract). I play basketball in different countries each year. I'm adventurous but an introvert who has no problem keeping to myself, though I also love chatting and getting to know other humans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people from different backgrounds and I also know that I will need help with living arrangements if I am going to continue to live this traveling lifestyle. And I believe there's no better way to travel than to meet the people of a foreign land and get a first hand look at the culture and people of that place.

Basketball, sports, writing, kayaking, nature, hiking, surfing, snorkling, excercise, weight room, pools, beaches, religion, poetry, reading, traveling, poker, cards, movies, etc.
