Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to pay attention.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed with a friend of my sister in Paris for a month. We had never met before. It was a single very small room. She was very generous with her space and she also spoke French to me the whole month because I was trying to learn. It was only the last couple days that she allowed me to realize that she spoke perfect English.

A friend of mine had three friends coming to visit her in her one room apartment. So she farmed two of them out to me for a month. We drove all over New Mexico, camping and singing Italian opera.

These weren't formally couchsurfing, but the idea was the same.

Interests

I like to sing. I have a guitar which I don't know how to play much, but I love a sing along if someone else does.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 years old, my father sent us on a horse ride in the dessert around the great pyramids at five in the morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I could be quite helpful to mid-career people who would like to work in another country. I have quite a lot of experience with that.

I am trying to learn to stand on my hands (yoga). If you do yoga, maybe you could help me overcome my fear of this pose!
