ABOUT ME

I like meeting new people, and especially those different from me. I'm a good listener and enjoy hearing other peoples' life stories, philosophies and perspectives. I enjoy learning about how things work in different places.

I enjoy time with people, mindfulness meditation, the outdoors, reading and exercise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to surf and host! I'll take anyone who wants to hang! I want to get to learn about new people and build relationships!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've loved it. All hosts have been amazing people! My roommate recently became open to hosting people at our place and our first experience was amazing! Request us, because we want more surfers!

Interests

I enjoy exercising and learning about and pondering the deep questions of life! Philosophy, history, and learning new skills and especially people are very enjoyable for me! Big on mindfulness meditation.

We love hosting. We rarely get people that request in our very small town, so do request us! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy good philosophy, history, psychology and sociology books. I listen to a little country, some rock, a little new grass, and some alternative music. I love action and adventure movies like Marvel, the Christian Bale Batman trilogy, and a lot of classic sci-fi (Indiana Jones, Back to the Future)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite places I've seen were the pyramids in Cairo, the Taj Mahal in India, and the ruins in Rome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about mindfulness meditation for improved attention and working memory (e.g., the super-short-term memory used in problem solving).

As a host, I can teach you about great nature spots in the area and how to get monstrous burritos at Chipotle for no extra cost!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would enjoy helping around the house with any cleaning or projects.

Most of all, I love learning and am a good listener and enjoy conversation. Spending time together and dialoguing is important to me whether I'm hosting someone or getting to stay with someone.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, England, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Vatican City State
