Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every one unique

keep 'em coming!

Interests

Rock climbing, mountains, surfing, tramping, snowboarding, climbing trees, swiming, exploring etc,etc... Just anything which allows you to be outdoors and in beautiful places.

And cooking delicious vegetarian food!

I like doing things which serve no purpose other than to make you feel good in the moment. it helps me reaffirm that there is no higher objective in enjoying the present. so soak it up :)

I really value positive interactions with complete strangers, even something so little as exchanging a smile with someone in the street :) Some of my best memories are the chance encounters with strangers when hitchiking.
