I've just started on couch surfing, so I would love to meet up with people. I am fairly friendly and extroverted, I love to travel, and I consider myself a lifetime learner, so if you ever want to trade lessons, send me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to use couch surfing as a tool to meet people that I otherwise wouldn't have. I see couch surfing as an opportunity to both make new friends, and if I am in a foreign country, to interact and share with a different culture on a deeper level.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

River Rafting on the Nile will always be one of my favorite experiences. With class five rapids, the first time I ever went bungee jumping, and a wicked sunburn, it was a blast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach, and would happy to teach what I know.
I have a lot of historical knowledge and would be happy to share (I had a few hour chat just last night about the current Middle East conflict and how that has roots in ecological changes much earlier on)
Other subjects I could teach: Ballroom Dance (i.e. Waltz, tango, etc), Martial Arts/self defense (Brazilian Jiujitsu, wrestling, boxing, etc), Other language skills (I could teach the basics of Spanish, Portuguese, and we could struggle together through Mandarin).
