Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed and it was awesome. Hope to somehow provide such a memorable experience for some other unique traveling soul.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thankfully a random stranger with a couch seems to appear whenever I am in need.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played Scrabble at Mount Everest base camp (also got fleas), taught ultimate frisbee to kids in peruvian rain forest, talked about 'girls' with the 17 yr old monks in my english class in Thailand, delivered babies, drilled holes in heads, rebuilt a school in Sri Lanka, got in a bus accident in Cambodia....etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, hmm. I can teach the clotting cascade or steroid synthesis pathways. Wait, no I can't. Neonatal resuscitation? I can knit. And polka dance. And thumb-wrestle like no other. I've had some fun crazy travels.
