One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a volunteer in the United States Peace Corps for two years in Burkina Faso. The most amazing thing I saw there were the Domes of Fabedougou in the Southwest region of Burkina. They are domes that have been eroded by wind, sand, and rain over thousands of years, they pop up out of nowhere, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. And, because Burkina isn't exactly the most organized place in the world, for two dollars you can go in and climb and hike them without a guide or anything! Very cool, and a great experience.

Also, camping on a mountain in Cappadocia, Turkey, and watching the hundred or so hot-air balloons go right overhead during the sunrise!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about as many different cultures as possible! If it isn't too dangerous, doing anything once is good, even if it is just for the story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, conversation, and beer? I WILL DO YOUR DISHES! I love playing games as well like backgammon (tavla), chess, jenga, rummy, monopoly, etc...
