About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning how to live.

ABOUT ME

Well, I guess I'm tall, at least that's what most people say, but only compared to some. And I have big feet, bigger than most people's feet. I like doing, and doing most anything, at least once. I play football (soccer), I love riding my bike, and I try to play guitar whenever I have the chance.
I graduated from college in Arkansas, and I then moved to Guatemala for several years, where I worked as a math and science teacher for a high school there. Now, I'm in the Netherlands, trying to work on my Master's degree. And travelling around Europe when I get have time!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I live for the One who created me, and follow where He leads.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm looking to surf, and hopefully in the near future, I'll have a coach to offer....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed several times in the US. Great experiences! I went on a cycling trip through the US, and several people were kind enough to let a smelly cyclist stay with them! I can definitely say that all of the people I have surfed with have been generous, authentic people, and I have always enjoyed their company!

Interests

I love talking about food! I love cooking and baking, although I know I'm not the best. I love learning how to cook food from all over the world!

An entire rainbow, beginning and end, and everything else! It was breathtaking....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definately teach some soccer and some calculus from time to time. And I thoroughly enjoy deep discussions on any subject, raning from politics to food science to pop culture, but I love talking about what I believe, and hearing about what you believe.
