Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an idealist. I trust people, and believe that we all have a lot to learn from each other. I'm hoping that by meeting people through couchsurfing, I can back that statement up with some experience. My house is going through some restructuring but I can potentially take guests for short stays.

Interests

Making and listening to music, sharing travel stories, discussing linguistics, crafts, cooking.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: East Coast swing or Chinese folk dance, wild fermentation methods, how to cross your eyes.
Learn: The history and culture of where you live. Tell me about what makes it special. Or better yet, show me!
Share: how we can create a society that's more equitable, with third spaces and time to pursue passions outside of work.
