Pourquoi je suis sur 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.

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.
