ABOUT ME

I am a active person, I prefer to do things (Biking, Hiking, Swimming, Paragliding, Snowboarding, Snowkiting, Snorkeling, Martial arts)myself rather then to wonder what it would have been like. However, I am also fairly cautious in the somewhat "risky" activities I enjoy. I am not a risk taker for the sake of risk or the adrenaline of almost having got oneself killed. That being said, I do love adventure! and to me that is synonymous with exploration & travel. my preferred means of travel is by bicycle, it allow me to progress at a rate slow enough to absorb all of the beautiful scenery, but fast enough not to get bored, it also requires that you stop and talk to people.

PHILOSOPHY

To see as much of it as I can & try all of the delicious foods!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Someday I will be in one place long enough to have a couch & host people again. in the mean time I can provide good input & advice on travel all across the US & in some other places too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on many strange couches

Interests

I like outdoor activities & active fitness type stuff. I also like drawing & painting. I like dogs & training them, would like to have horses someday.
I am a huge "news junkie" not so interested in the tabloid stuff -celebrity/murder/horror/glam, but i follow the international news & economics like most people watch pro-sports.
I also enjoy training in various martial arts as well as non-martial, Chi Gung/Yoga etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

wow, im having personal expression fatigue. I like all sorts of music, to many styles to list much less specific artists. I mostly read history & technical DIY books. I don't care for movies or tv much, prefer documentaries & cartoons if i'm watching a screen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

riding a bike. anyone can do it, but when you decide to ride to a location 20 miles, 100 miles, 1000 miles away & then get on & do it; without a map; without a plan. you are guaranteed an adventure of some sort... & I've been on quite a few :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely help teach you to shoot pool better & if I meet your dog too I can help you communicate better. Also I feel its fair to say that I have a better understanding of finance, assets, wealth & money then most people & im pretty good at explaining how these things work. careful about getting me started on these topics after a few drinks though.. if you ran into me in a bar pre 2008 you would have got an earful on "the inevitable oncoming financial collapse!" ;)
