This world is a beautiful and amazing place. I revel in that, and love it. I hope it continues to be so.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think CS is an amazing resource. It's much more fun and interesting to travel with friends, and experience places through the eyes of someone who lives there, and this is a spectacular way to make new friends and do so.

Intereses

Why things are the way they are, how they work the way they do, and what they might be like in the future

I love being outdoors and learning about the world around me.

I'm also into cycling.

Música, películas y libros

I'm recently on a kick of reading all the books I "should have" read but haven't, including 1984, Brave new World, Catch 22, Angela's Ashes, Great Gatsby, etc. I've always been a fan of Tolkien. I also like reading popular science/nonfiction. My favorite of those is "Song of the Dodo," which I highly recommend.

Algo increíble que he hecho

There was a fellow teacher in the Dominican Republic who I went home with for a weekend. She lived with her two young sons, mother, and sister in one of the "neighborhoods." I still can't get over how much love was in that house -- they were so rich in love.
