Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love to surf, but likely host more, though it these days is dependent a bit of time of week and busy-ness of kids and all. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've both hosted and visited quite a bit through the two networks: People to People international, and ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management)
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Paulo Coelho (the Zahir being the best I think) and Carlson&Bailey: "Slowing down to the speed of life" being the two books that comes to mind first.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Well, getting kids really have to be the most amazing, BUT with regards to traveling, I think it must be when sailing high waves in half storm, the great experience of closeness to animals on Galapagos and feeling the thrust to the chest of a space shuttle taking of at Cape Canaveral Florida, or simple things like just sitting around a table at a host in Ukraine with 5 people indulged in a deep and fun conversation and then just realizing that we didn't have one language in common, but had to get by on a mixture of English, Russian, German and Kurdish.
My Interests
Ahh, I guess they really are about who I am as per above...
