About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well... all of us are teaching one another all the time! Paradigms are changing, and I enjoy being part of the conversation. Everything is connected; if you are a conversational person we can tie all things together .. this is one of the things I enjoy most. (I am not a motormouth -- more quiet, I just like getting into really good convos).

ABOUT ME

I am pretty easy to get along with, or so I think.
Not too into astrology, but Libra does describe me: even keeled and enjoy relating.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule is the only thing I can think of right now, and it applies nicely to couchsurfing: Surf couches as you would like to have your couch surfed upon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Guca in Serbia was a crazy awesome festival. Hope to be back one day. I also levitated a cow once

Burning Man is awfully amazing too! Hope to go every year if I could..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you math but I'd be surprised for anyone to take me up on that one. You can teach me anything you like. teach me guitar, drums, painting..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to cook for you (in your kitchen haha), teach you French, but mostly just the simple pleasure of meeting people from different places. No obligation for a host to socialize with me, I can just crash and explore solo too.
