Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf and host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about CouchSurfing in 2005, and when traveling in the USA in 2006 I stayed with some very nice people in San Francisco, LA and Utah. I've had a perfect experience regarding the hospitality so I was won for CS. Ever since I have been surfing and hosting as well and encourage everyone to do so.

Interests

I have a passion for food and cooking.
I have an old Kawasaki KLR 600 enduro motorbike that I love to ride and make the necessary repairs as well.
I play tennis and practice tai-chi-chuan.
I like to dance to electronic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nature has always made a big impression on me, whenever I am traveling I try to look for special places. I have been very fortunate to be able to see the Grand Canyons and make a hike there, but I could list many awesome things, like the sound of Niagara Falls, the smell of fresh spices in the Western Ghats in India, or the most recently the sunset over lake Balaton in Hungary.
The other area that fascinates me is the human brain. I am not going to elaborate here, but recommend this blog post: http://blog.ketyov.com/2011/05/we-are-all-inattentive-superheroes.html
