Oh man. I'm quite the character. It's not my fault that my interest are so far spread out! On the plus side, I'm almost guaranteed to find common ground with anyone I meet. I think that is why people enjoy my company. As a person, I would say I'm quite abrasive, but there's always good intention in what I say and people see that. I think it helps that I follow up with a good pun/joke. Aghh! So much "think" in such few words. I guess it's no surprise. I love to think! The topic? Who cares. Actually, try not to pick a knowingly dry topic. You'll only poke at the most valuable talent I poses. The talent to make anything intresting. It's fun. Try me. I'll come up with something good. I will probably get you thinking. haha What else. Food! I'm a huge food enthusiast. That mean all foods! From the streets to the white table clothes. I love it all. ^^ Anyway, Enough about me. Even I'm annoyed. haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Network of friends across the globe. How cool is that? I'm sold. Where do I sign? :D

Oh. And how could I forget. Food Culture. I want to experience it all: the history, process, cultural significance, perception. Other's have so much to offer. Why limit myself?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time, I jumped off of a 68 ft ledge into a freezing cold lake. About 72% of the lake's surface, give or take 1%, was still covered in ice. Anyway. The water was so cold. When my feet broke the surface, I could feel an immediate nerve pain radiate up and through my brain, sort of like a brain freeze. Because of poor planning on my end, I found myself in a tricky situation. Thankfully, I was not alone for long. My best friend was mid-flight, braced for impact. We were cornered to the cliff side because of the ice .The only logical exit strategy that we could come up with was to climb the cliff side. Spectators thought we were crazy. They wanted to call a Helicopter and I don't blame them. At one point, I had to use my friends leg as a tree rope to reach a crack out of arms length. All this at 11.5 meters or so above the surface level. Pretty much deep water solo with no climbing experience. Looking back, the grade was probably 15.6/7. Lucky, Lucky.
