CURRENT MISSION

Teaching English in Madrid. While living alone I've decided to finally begin giving back to the couchsurfing community by being a host.

ABOUT ME

A day in my life:
I wake up and cycle to an English class in the center of Madrid. Class ends and I go home and eat a big breakfast because I cycle too much from class to class. I cycle to another class. After work I fit in some time for a craft beer with friends and if my mood calls for it maybe a wine with cheese. I probably will stay up too late since I've had two glasses and with interesting friends but the next day will come and cycling ought to wake me up just fine.

PHILOSOPHY

Good can be promoted through good living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donated dollars. I participated in a radio interview in Vienna, Austria which focused on the Couchsurfing experience. I communicate the CouchSurfing culture to people who would benefit from it and contribute to it. Finally I'm a host and have already had a nice time with it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed while traveling around Europe in the summer of 2009 through over ten countries and later a few other places. Couchsurfing provides a warmth which can be hard to find when traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked through a tunnel of vines and fireflies while camping in the vineyards of Cinque Terre, Italy. It won't leave my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Living a happy life comes in many forms.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll make my bed in the morning and clean the dishes (or at least put them in the dishwasher if available). I can cook but it may be too spicy.
