About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to make people glad they've met me. I want to meet as many people as I can. I want to garden. I want to do geometry late into the night, over a salmon steak with candlelight.

ABOUT ME

Travel is perhaps one of the most important things I do, and this website seems like a fantastic conduit for that. Also, I love meeting people from other cultures, so feel free to message me and we'll talk about getting you set up in Rockledge.

PHILOSOPHY

Help other people. Have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In addition to the standard "I want to host people and be hosted by them," I will say that I just LOVE talking to people from other cultures, so if you want to e-mail me and get to know me, this would make me very happy.

I will do my best to respond to every letter I get. If we get to liking each other, we'll certainly arrange a visit!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled around the Caribbean and Central America, and a bit of South America. In general, everywhere I've been in the world I've met nice people, and I've slept on many a couch and in many a house. When I've had a house, it has always been open to others needing a place to crash.

I can say with pride I have never stayed in a hotel in a foreign country, and I never intend to.

Interests

I love gardening, writing, hiking, running, talking, swimming, and learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've never liked this part of any profile, so I'll keep mine really brief:I love music and books! A lot!I don't watch too many movies anymore, but I dig films not made in hollywood. (indie, foriegn)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a part of a high speed car chase ... on the rooftop of a car.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is no subject that I find boring. If I know it, I'm more than willing to share it with you. If you know it, I'm more than willing to learn it from you.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago

Countries I’ve Lived In

Colombia, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, United States
