Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

autism activism, workers rights, human rights, healthcare advocacy, disability rights, mentoring foreigners, nonviolence, cultural diversity, preservation of history and native cultures, have had exchange students

In the months of Aug, Sept, October, my home is welcome for a 4 to 5 weeks for someone Asia to stay. Camp, ride horses, swim. It's expensive to go in to Chicago often. But I myself will go in 2x a month, and perhaps you can arrange to go 1x a week the other weeks. I'm happy to help with practicing English language. I will enjoy you cooking in my kitchen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

travelled extensively with another organization and met lots of interesting people! I love the adventurous way to travel, even in middle age. As I like to get to know the culture
