**Sorry, I can't host until I move into a place of my own again**

While I haven’t hosted in a long time, I’ve been a member of Couchsurfing for over a decade!

ABOUT ME

Funny. Dry humor. Not usually punctual, but fairly reliable otherwise. Honest. Decent cook. Loves dogs. Great photographer. "Not dull."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew halfway across the world to a country I knew little about to an unknown location and situation, not sure when I'd be home again ... to teach English to children without knowing their first language.

Most challenging and rewarding job I've ever had.

Oh, and I once jumped from a moving train in Ayutthaya, Thailand. True story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very clean, quiet, and self sufficient. I will be happy to learn about you, your interests, your town, your culture, your language. I’ve traveled somewhat and can share stories of my adventures. I’d love to teach you what I know about. Do you want to learn about Burning Man? I can explain that in detail. How about how New Jersey isn’t real winter? I got you. Need to figure out something in Photoshop? I can show you or learn it with you. Thinking about getting a dog? I know a little bit about animal behavior and training dogs.
