Hi! I'm Derek, and I love to be a part of this great big world. I love learning languages, being politically active, meeting new people, and doing me. :)

Very important that hosts are LGBTQ-friendly!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

To meet new people, learn new languages, and make incredible connections with people and places.

Also, even though I have but a tiny couch, I want to be able to house people briefly in Reykjavík because being a tourist up here in Iceland is super expensive.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I love to learn about foreign languages, so I will read just about anything about a foreign language! I love R+B and soul music, especially from the 90s and early 00s.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I spoke to 1% of Iceland’s population at a Black Lives Matter gathering. Wild.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I love to spread information about language, life, love, politics, social issues, and anything else. I am willing to hear anything you might wish to tell me! I'm a very open book!

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I’m an Icelandic teacher by trade, so anyone that is interested and wants a free lesson can have one :)
