I’m a special education teacher and computer programming teacher who loves rock climbing, handstands, and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to explore a culture by living it; I see couchsurfing as the best way to live it. I'm finishing up a 15 day trip in Europe and was told to try this by several friends I met at a Movement Convention where I was took workshops in acrobatics, hand balancing, internal Chinese martial arts, physical therapy, and strength training.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and sharing; its at the core of who I am as a human being.

I can share what I've learned by teaching any of my hosts how to cook Thai food or to do a handstand. I'm also very well versed in sociology, political science, and economics so I can discuss any one of these things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Home cooked meals, great conversations, cook tricks from some of the physical disciplines I've studied, and many more things.
