I've hosted 14 wonderful people and surfed in France, Germany, Poland, Ecuador, Boston, New Orleans, Orlando, and Atlanta. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Sang with a Mariachi Band in Krakow, Poland. Practiced French with a cartographer in Paris. Partied all night in a Freiberg bar then spent the next day walking around an old mine. Watched an Israeli army ceremony at Autschwitz.
Music, Movies, and Books
My tastes are all over the place, I probably like the same things you do. My favorite movie is Dead Poets Society, music group is Red Hot Chili Peppers, and books are Happiness in Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Went caving for my first time in Ottomuhl, Germany. Used no equipment other than a flashlight and managed to overcome my fear of small spaces.
