CURRENT MISSION

To know that the world is better in some way because I existed and to live my life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I wish I had enough time on this earth to learn...well, everything, lol. I love to laugh, love good company, and love to learn about others. If I had more lives I would spend one traveling, one studying people, and the others learning about the world around me. I enjoy meeting different kinds of people, learning about them, and what makes them who they are. I am an excellent listener who believes that there is something to be learned from everyone. I teach English (ESP) and started an English and Technology Camp (nonprofit in the making) in Guatemala that I hope to expand to other countries one day. Right now, my goal is to research access to English and technology as well as explore the effects of the spread of English on other cultures. If I am in the area and you have an opinion, I would love to hear it in person or email.
In the meantime, I am traveling, meeting interesting people, hearing fascinating stories, and busy learning about the world at large. Hope to see you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life while you have the chance, tomorrow is promised to know man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been moving around so have not been able to host, but can't wait to do so. I have recruited others to host. I have surfed and it has been a great experience. I have met both host and other surfers and think that their is just something special about the people on here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed a few times and met some amazing people. I found roommates, made life long friends, and overall have just had a great time.
