CURRENT MISSION Triathlon and couchsurfing in every major european city ABOUT ME My life revolves around sports. I am currently addicted to Triathlon. I started joining competition last July 2010 and continue to train almost everyday with the ultimate goal of hopefully making it in Kona. I love to travel and discover new places. I love road trips, discovering great wines, cheese and local cuisine. I love the great outdoors. I jump every opportunity to go camping and be with nature. I would love to go mountain hiking/climbing but at as of now, havent found the time yet. The last time i hiked was in Atlas Mountain, Morocco and that was in 2009. I would love to do one again. I have a day job that keeps me occupied most of the week but i try to maintain a healthy work life balance thus my interest in sports, arts, and traveling. I have a passion for contemporary/modern arts - works by Mark Rothko, Gustav Klim, Andy Warhol , Joan Miro, Picasso, Giacometti, Cezanne, Matisse, to name a few. I am a big supporter of online microfinance project called Kiva and have regularly lent to small businesses in far flung areas of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Middle East. I have started my own little way of raising funds for charity by putting in EUR1 for every distance (km) i will complete during a triathlon event and hopefully encourage friends and families match that donation. Other than these, im pretty much a chill guy but can be a bit serious bordering boring sometimes :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have hosted quite a few couchsurfers and always had the best time. -Anthony from USA but was an exchange student in UK at that time and we ended up training for Triathlon together -Rok and his sister from Slovenia -Cindy and her friend from China, exchange students in Tarragona, Spain at that time - Daniel from US, exchange student in Grodingen, Netherlands - Edyta from Poland also an exchange student in Grodingen - Nate from US and is an exchange student in Netherlands who came to Luxembourg and ran the ING marathon (full) - Jill from US, an exchange student in Angers, France - Katherine from Canada - Tom from UK and Rune from Norway traveling together on their way to Korea - Jolyn and her brother Jason from Missouri, USA - Svenning and Michael (Father and son team) from Denmark who was biking their way to Barcelona from Denmark - Adam from Australia No, i dont have a preference for exchange students, it all just happened that most of those who requested that fit my schedule were exchange students. Couple of times, i had double booked couchsurfers trying to help out last minute requests. They all turned out to be fantastic experience. I am most likely to turn you down if you are a "professional" couchsurfer. I have not surfed yet but plans to finally do one during summer 2011.
