Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING We have stayed at a number of nontraditional spaces, but have not yet couchsurfed. Friends do recommend it! We've hosted, and really appreciate those experiences of getting to know new people. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We have significant experience with AirBNB and other informal stays... we've stayed with people in Martha's Vineyard, MA USA, on small hilltops in Italy and on a horse farm in Chattanooga, TN USA.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've been the first human to set foot in a place on earth - the feeling is absolutely incredible. It has also been an honor and pleasure to participate in conversations about cognitive psychology that push the boundary of what we know about how people think.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to teach people how to bake bread or make cheese; it's a pleasure to learn how to cook new things or learn a new language.
