I teach college courses in film and sociology, so conversations with me can be very boring--Wait, did I say boring? I meant fantastic--I always get those mixed up. But, if you like boring/fantastic things about arthouse movies, film theory, and social group dynamics then I'm a gold mine.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm driving across the U.S. this summer and I'm hoping to get to know a bunch of interesting people and visit places that I've never been, throughout the country, and give back however I can.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to paddle board. Seriously. I'm traveling with one, and others can be rented and transported fairly easily. It might look boring, but it's actually fantastic.

I love learning new things and meeting new people, so I'll be a good listener if you have cool stories to tell... Someday I'm going to learn to play the piano, but we don't have to tackle that one just yet...

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Dinner is on me!

I love trying good, local restaurants, so if you have the time and the desire to eat out, I'll pick up the tab. It's the least I can do.

Also, I'm a non-smoker and very tidy. My travel plans are incredibly flexible, so whatever works for you is great for me.

Länder, die ich besucht habe

Cambodia, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand
