Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
A good conversation is a great place to start. Love learning from other people and discussing things that interest them. In the past I've been fortunate enough to have some really great guests that I'm sure will turn out to still be around in the years to come, but for now I can mostly only offer my services as a tour guide and dinner buddy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted loads of people prior to my current apartment, surfed Europe, India, S. Korea, and S. Africa now back to hosting for a while when I can.

Interests

The fun stuff: good people, conversation, a great cup of coffee, interesting books, life experiences, people watching, random sayings, radical faeries.

The serious stuff: cultural identity, behavioral economics, public policy, human behavior, behavior change, rights of the child, social determinants of health
