CURRENT MISSION

I don't believe in mission statements. Sorry.

ABOUT ME

Moved again. Now living in the NDG borough of Montreal with fellow CSer James Bone. Can't host at the moment but very much interested in coffee or a drink somewhere. Sorry if I'm shite at replying. I am trying to improve, really I am.

For the moment, I work as a Contract ESL teacher but I am going back to school in September!

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once (once the priggish voice inside my head à la Charles Ryder stops telling me to avoid the situation and go back to sleep).

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hmmm I talk a lot about CS and HC to people to spread the word about this wonderful idea. After constantly harping on it to two of my best friends they recently signed up (right before CS version 1. 0 went a bit toast). I cannot host unfortunately at this venture but am totally up for tours...I cannot think of how else I could participate for the moment....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed with the wonderful Carol who so kindly put me up in her Boston student digs. During the past year I have basically used CS and Hospitality Club (I have the same user name on that site) to save money and meet cool people while travelling through Europe

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

When I was in Thailand, I walked through the market and saw and smelled all manner of things that I had, before that moment on an early April morning, never thought existed. A tour through the central market in Bangkok brings you face to face with human ingenuity (eating all manner of bugs as a protein source) as well as highlighting the poetic rhythm of day to day market life.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

Hmmm... Teach? I suppose I can "teach" people about basic Canadian History although I prefer to not call it teaching. I want to teach English. Learn? I'm rather keen on learning Spanish at the moment.
