CURRENT MISSION

Connect people from different spheres until the city is one

ABOUT ME

I'm really an open book, but a goofy and ridiculous kind of book...the kind you love to read but would never admit to friends. But not like Twilight or 50 Shades of Gray. Anyway, I love people, every and any kind. We are some of the most fascinating things in this universe, and every one is unique. In that sense, every person is a universe of thoughts and ideas, quirks and idiosyncrasies, victories and defeats worth studying and exploring.

I have a great time with just about anyone who's willing to laugh and love. Wine doesn't hurt, but I try to be aware of people's past addictions...maybe I shouldn't drink....

PHILOSOPHY

We are all connected, and we are all valuable to each other. We ought to treat each other as such. I love including people, making them feel welcome, and ultimately dismantling the countless walls we build between each other as wounded humans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Little. I've only been a guest once and hosted someone once, but both experiences were positive.

Interests

I've traveled quite a bit like most people my age, but I really wanted to engage the chief culture that I visited being Germany. Consequently, I am fluent in German. Aber bitte prüf mal mich nicht. I'm willing to try just about everything once and when the opportunities have presented themselves, I have. That includes food, people, cultures, music, etc. I have a great zest for life and all it has to offer, but I do try to balance my life with some key values that keep me grounded, else I would probably float away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach performance and social intelligence at the school where I work. That means vocal performance and social skills essentially. I love helping people learn how to better connect and relate with their fellow man, and I love performing especially. Stick around, and I'll teach you a few chords on the guitar.
