Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seemed like a good idea at the time, and so far it has been.

Interests

Playing music, discussing democracy and government, questioning random things, walking my dog, digressing, wandering, having a beer and a laugh while at it, traveling around and learning from it all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've raised a puppy to become the best dog in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach applied statistics, but that's incredibly boring for most people. I guess I could also teach some percussion and drumming basics (and not so basics), a very particular dialect of Spanish and how to boil an egg.
I believe everyone has something to teach or share, and you can never quite know what it is until you've met them. But it's always gonna be an interesting ride, that's certain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, my house, evidently. Aside from that, my best disposition, hopefully good times and maybe a tour around town if I can spare the time.
