About Me

CURRENT MISSION

DO ALL THE THINGS

ABOUT ME

I was working as a computer programmer for five years before I decided to quit and travel for a bit. I bought a one-way ticket to Germany and am now enjoying Sommer in Deutschland. In September I will fly to Thailand to soak up the sandy beaches and learn how to scuba. Recent events have taught me that life is really too short and too fragile to put off your dreams, so I am living mine now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couchsurfing, so I suppose I participate by signing up?

Interests

I like to stay relatively active most of the time. Rock climbing is my activity of choice. Mostly bouldering, but I also top rope sometimes. Indoors, outdoors, doesn't matter...I love it all.

Food. I love it. Can't live without it (uh...duh). I like eating it, making it (though I'm not very good), and discussing it. Yes, if you want to have a conversation about falafel I will gladly indulge you. And if you want to EAT a falafel, well...we can go indulge ourselves together.

I like experiencing new things, because really, what is life if not a big long learning opportunity? That, to me, is the most exciting part of traveling - Seeing new things/meeting new people/EATING NEW THINGS.

Current personal goal: Go to Antarctica and live there for a few months.
