Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've not hosted as much as I would like to. I have surfed far more and have met great people during these experiences. I have also participated in plenty of outings while here in Riyadh with the Couchsurfing group and have gotten to know a lot of cool people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosting Experience:

It's been an amazing experience. They have been few but they have been memorable. Truly unforgettable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching: It's a life passion and I will always be involved in it in one way or another. Love being a teacher.

Scuba Diving: Plan to become a diving instructor one day.

Heard children laugh.

I helped a little old lady cross the street once. Her name was Anna. I then realized I should have just been born a cross guard.

I've also fund raised a lot in communities. Front of stores, streets, door to door. You truly feel the pulse of the community. The stories you hear...man!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

~I'm a language teacher so I can teach you English and Spanish.
~Answer most questions about Ecuador, my background culture. I use to live and work there for 3.5 years.
~I've been a vegan since mid-July '17 and becoming knowledgeable about different recipes and cooking options.
~Would love to meet more people into meditation and Yoga. Will be doing a Vipassana retreat in Bogotá soon.

What I Can Share with Hosts

While in the States: A modest residential house. A nice, fun family that's loud and hospitable and accommodating. We can drop you off at places, maybe accompany you and give you a lot of tips of how to get around and what to see, the best times to see them, how to get discounts, etc.

While in Ecuador: Fun and friends! lol (If I'm ever living back there again).
