In Hungary for the summer!

CURRENT MISSION

To be a great teacher.

ABOUT ME

I'm in Si Racha .

I've been teaching and traveling for 8 years. Before I was a Medic/Firefighter and Community Developer.

I have lived in several other countries outside of the US, where I taught English. In addition, I've been to more than 35 other countries.

I feel I've seen more of the world then the US. I hope to remedy that.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac

"Boo-boo was merely Yogi's conscience, materialized into a tiny bear with a cold." ~DB

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting if possible, and showing people around.

Couchsurfers are great people:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive ones. I've heard of a few troubles with other people, but never anything serious. Its all pretty simple. Get out there and travel!

Interests

Community involvement, architecture. I hate cultureless cookie cutter housing. no i haven't burned anything down in awhile. Cooking, Wine, BBQ is a usual, live music, Beer thats not budlight. I'll go to almost any concert. I've seen MC Hammer, boy can dance. reading dead peoples philosophies. midnight quesadillas. Road trips. Movies that don't suck or at least that suck and make me laugh. eating oreos. sucking the marrow out of life and than later wasting it. ice cream. new music. making pretty girls smile. helping more than impeding. trying everything once, maybe twice. new food.
