I am a eccentric adventurous person with a desire for travel. Art is my favorite way of self expression . I love sharing my experiences through story and pictures. The pictures demonstrate the imagery that you sometimes cannot explain. I am a driven person who loves to succeed, but my goal have never been monetarily based. I define wealth by your experiences and the knowledge you gain from those experiences. knowledge is true power and i love to learn about every thing. It gives me a perspective into another world different from my own. This is probably why i ended up in education. Its inspiring to see children have epiphanies over the most simplest things.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The reason i am couch-surfing id for fro two simple reasons. As an individual with large dreams and small pockets i have always had to use creative ways to explore the world. Couch surfing allows me the ability to extend my adventures through budgeting. The secant reason is to meet people from the native region that i am exploring. The best way to learn about a culture is to immerse your self in it. Couch-surfing provides the opportunity to meet locals you can tell you about how they live along with their favorite spots. This is the information that you cannot find in your average travel guide and this is the knowledge that i am truly after. Now to be a tourist but a temporary member to the community

兴趣

I am an adventurous individual. I enjoy the outdoors and all that goes along with them. My favorite sports include white water kayaking back-country skiing hunting hiking camping trekking and cliff jumping. I also enjoy the arts. I love to drawl in my sketchbook to create future creations. Lately i have been building furniture and remolding houses to express my creativity while making a little money for more adventures. I also use cooking as a way to express my creativity. i wouldn't say that i am a chef by any means, but through my many years waiting tables i have picked up enough tricks in the kitchen to impress the ladies at my work.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

This past year i have been working with local business and the community to build an outdoor classroom for Meadowbrook elementary. Meadow brook the school where i teach healthy social and emotional play to children has a vacant lot that i had envisioned an area for future students to learn. The project has received 2000 dollars in funding and construction has begun. the final completion date will be may 2015. I am so excited that this dream has started to become a reality not only for the children at the elementary but also for the community to come together for such a good cause.

教，学，和分享

I teach social and emotional skills for children to use to handle conflict at school and at home. I have shared these lessons with hundreds of children and some adults. I believe that it is important to instill positive coping mechanisms early in life so that children can grow up to live healthy successful lives.

I always keep an open mind to new experiences so that i can better understand where people come from. this open mindedness has lead to strong relationships.

As a person with limited means i don't usually have much to offer people physically. what i do have i think is much more valuable in the long ruin. A good adventure story filled with action stress and whit will provide you a memory that will last longer then any tangible gift. I would love to share my knowledge about home repair and wood working as well and my assistance .

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share a number of things with my host. I play a lot of games in my line of work that are fit from ages 5 to 65. Its a joy to see a grown adult let loose and play a childhood game. I would happily share some of my favorite games that really pep up a party. For those host who are looking for a more mellow guest i also enjoy taking the time to enjoy the simpler things like a well prepared dinner and some good conversation. I am not someone who shy's away from house hold duties. I would gladly help with what ever house hold project that you may have on you plate at the time. Creating beautiful living spaces brings me great pleasure. My friends and family have been benefiting from this service for years now and i would like to share my skills with the world..
