I would love to practice languages with you . . . besides that, I'm a classical liberal (as opposed to post-Marx "liberal") instructor and consultant: teaching Bastiat, Hayek, Mises, Locke, etc. If you think government is not powerful enough, then we'll have our differences. If you're into the ideas of liberty, and if you really believe in philosophical diversity -- if you're into genuine tolerance for diverse political ideas -- then we'll probably have a lot to talk about. Where have you been? Where have you lived? What have you experienced? What have you learned? What do you know that I don't know? I'd like to hear -- and to learn from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have relied on the kindness of strangers for a long time. My education has primarily come from the people I've met -- rather than from the classrooms I've inhabited.
