Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, hope they can share their knowledge and experiences with me and I with them. Heading to Europe in January 2015, Spain, Portugal, France, Scotland, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece, etc...

Honestly, a nice / comfortable place to stay with cool people and free/cheap sounds perfect...I am a very organized person that cleans up after himself and has NO problem helping out in the place I stay (clean, cook, dog walking, etc...)

I have been very well treated by Life and I am always looking to give back...

Interests

Bicycle, especially downhill. Most sports, rugby, tennis, muy thai, paintballing, mud runs. Going to the movies. Eating out. Live music and enjoying a cup with good friends. And of course traveling. I love to go hiking and just walk around aimlessly. Some of the best times of my life i spent when i was lost. "Every road leads somewhere"...
