Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first experience with CS. If it works out, then maybe it could become something more. I live with my mother and grandmother and commute to school. If I had a request and could explain to them both what this is and they were comfortable with it, and for some reason somebody wanted to come to my town in the first place, I may be able to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, I hitch-hiked across Vermont once.

Centres d'intérêt

I run track and field for UMass. I made this account because I am a member of an organization called Engineers Without Borders and am attending a conference in Philadelphia. I have a 1984 v30 Magna that I like to tinker with and am experimenting with surfing.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

The last few books I read were Kerouac's 'The Dharma Bums', and Ben Franklin's Autobiography. I read less than I should. I am currently reading 'Plan B, 3.0' by Lester Brown. I listen to mostly rock and roll and certain 'pop' and 'indie' music.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Hopefully I will have the opportunity to travel to Panama this spring to help create a sustainable water source in a disadvantaged community.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can't say I believe I have much to teach at the moment. I am doing my best to learn to be happy and live a good life, and appreciate the experiences from which people are willing to share.
