Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and travel

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While living in Vienna I have have had the opportunity to host people from all over and have always had an amazing time sharing experiences with new nice and interesting people. It is a wonderful way to make me feel like a local in my new home, as I can be a guide, and keep things new and fresh, as I can share the excitement with people coming to Vienna for the first time. I have also surfed and find it so refreshing and a great way to truly "travel" with the shared information and insights that only a friendly local can provide

Interests

Trying new things and getting out of the comfort zone. I like all sorts of sports (snowboarding, surfing, tennis, climbing, biking, volleyball, you name it), traveling, or just hanging out. Good conversations. Good food. Interesting places and people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Illuminatus Trilogy, The Prophet are three books I really like. There Is too much great music too mention but I like variety and something that fits the mood. Movies are cool- id rather be living than watching actors live.
