Just a regular dude trying to live a [halfway] exciting life, really... :)
https://www.facebook.com/yv.burd - Bunch of public pics (= open to all FB users) out there, nothing too fancy - just showcasing me & some great people I've worked with/for. Not exactly a huge fan of putting much of my private stuff for all to see [and be annoyed, lol] :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to say right off the bat... What would you like to know? :)
Err... climbed that wind turbine? Nah, that was exciting, yet not truly amazing though. :))
