CURRENT MISSION

conducting dissertation research for my PhD

ABOUT ME

I am taking a year leave of absence from my consulting career to conduct dissertation research.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever is today will likely change tomorrow. If things aren't going well just hang in there because it will get better.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When living in Kenya I hosted many couchsurfers through my daughter and her colleagues, who were using our house in Nairobi as a base for their documentary filmmaking. In Uganda, we host many Peace Corps Volunteers, and when I complete my PhD I look forward to being an active couchsurfer host. I often sponsor dinners with lots of diverse people around the table!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My daughter couchsurfs and hosts couchsurfers. I would like to give it a try myself!
