Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined in February 2008. I heard about this web-site a long time ago. I wish I would have joined then. Anyone could have crashed at my place in Korea and it would have been useful when I was in Thailand.

Interests

Music, traveling, culinary arts, culture, meeting new people, playing guitar etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ate live octopus in Korea and paid a visit to the DMZ (the border separating North/South Korea). I just tried raw beef (u-kay) in Japan along with raw horse meat. Last summer I got my PADI scuba license in Indonesia and saw a manta ray on my last dive!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you American Sign Language or how to play the guitar.
