Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I forgot about this site for a year while I was in Nepal, and am trying to get active again. Once I'm back in Chicago and if my roommates are down, I'll open up my home to couch surfers! So, I will participate by hosting you wonderful people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hung out with fellow couchsurfers in DC and did some surfing myself in New Orleans, Austin and Cincinnati. Loved it. Will do more of it, once I travel again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about small mammal biology and how to write a solid fundraising plan for a non-profit. I can also teach you the very basics of guitar or accordion, how to make yogurt or lava cake, and how to do things in Excel.

I would love to learn how to cook better. And how to do computer programming. And how to be better at the drums.
