CURRENT MISSION

To hang out in the Pacific Northwest with buddies old and new!

ABOUT ME

I'm a young, naive Midwesterner who has, in recent years, taken an immensely larger interest in the world beyond the vast cornfields of Iowa. I teach high school English and I've been doing that for the past seven years.

I'm an o.k. guy.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept what's on your plate, exchange pieces of it for what's on everyone else's plate.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've stayed with a few people and had positive experiences. Hosting is most certainly not out of the equation, either.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Stephen and Lid in Sackville, NB. They are two very wonderful, happy, understanding guys and I'm lucky to know them.

Centres d'intérêt

People, relating to people.

• beaches

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I like Howard Zinn a lot. I'm a big fan of independent music, Gregorian chant, calliope music, folk music from various parts of the world.

Hit me with whatcha got and I'll throw myself in.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

The Bay of Fundy is beautiful and one of the (6?) wonders of the world. The simple act of placing my feet in the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica beach was mind blowing for someone used to cornfields.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez
