Get busy living or get busy dying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going on a trip to California and then to South East Asia. I want to meet interesting people along the way, to learn from their experiences, and to share my own. I want to join this great movement that advocates friendship as the pillar of travel.

Interests

My interests are varied.
I like skydiving, and I have completed 75 jumps as of today.
I like yoga, and I have been practicing on and off for the past 2 years.
I like running, so far I have ran many half-marathons and want to run a full one this year.
I like watching football (soccer) games on the T.V more than I like playing the sport.
