Working on traveling better

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interested in hanging out with locals to get to know them and to get a real perspective on what's good there

Interests

Wildlife, carrots, squats, having enough browser tabs open at one time so that only their icons are visible, wild salmon

• wildlife
• photography
• cooking
• poker

Music, Movies, and Books

TV: The Wire, Deadwood, Sopranos, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played online poker for 16+ hours/day every day for 1 month in 2009

Teach, Learn, Share

Mostly just interested in learning about the city and cool stuff to do there. Also trying to learn French and eventually Spanish (I know nothing despite taking it for 4 years).

Would be glad to give advice on poker, photography, and how to manage in places like Central African Republic and Congo

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to help with cooking (although I don't know how to use flavor) or any other way I can make myself useful
