One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many years ago a friend and I were hiking near Cappadocia, Turkey. A dog followed us around and then started leading us. It took us off the main road into the country side, through an ancient aqueduct that had carved though a mountain and to a church made by the early christians before Christianity was accepted. I could still faintly see religious paintings on the walls. I kinda see CS as a way to repeat that amazing experience by taking travelers off the beaten path to by way of local knowledge... not that CS hosts are dogs, like in the story... oh I messed this one up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I research social causes of disease and can always talk about that, also can teach what i know about fixing bikes.
