CURRENT MISSION

There is good in everything.

ABOUT ME

Learning the basics of life, because so far I've learned I really don't know anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Life will keeping moving if you're ready or not. In fact it keeps going while you're getting ready. Some of life's greatest joy's come from mistakes. Some of our best moments come from the time you thought your world was crashing down. Some of our most valued learning comes from failure.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to find anybody that's willing to enjoy a night or pleasant day in or around the Fort Dodge area. Also, once my travel bug resurfaces I would love to come visit you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited - a true beginner

Centres d'intérêt

Reading
Camping
Biking
Hiking
Rock climbing
Kayaking/canoeing
Fishing
Coaching
Teaching
Attending concerts, musicals, and plays

Attempting to refinish furniture (but since it's still going on almost 2 years later it might not count as an interest)

Anything that has absolutely no reference to cooking because I despise it.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

That moment. The moment when everything went wrong in my travel plans and I was on backup plan "T". It should have been horrible, it should have been miserable, and in many ways it was.

Yet, in every situation there is good. I met 2 random strangers that had such welcoming hearts. One of whom turned out to be a long-distance relative. We felt free to share personal painful things with each other knowing we'd never see each other again, but needing that one person to be there, now. The second introduced me to my new favorite food group - sushi!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Well, you see, I'm actually a teacher. I can teach you anything in the realms of chemistry, biology, and physics.

For those that don't want anything to do with the science (I do understand - I have a classroom full of them every day) I am willing to discover life and try just about everything so if you want maybe we can learn together.
