HOW I PARTICIPATE

It's not about finding "a place to crash", it's about meeting new people and having rewarding interactions that each can grow from, and taking those experiences back home, weaving a complex and unified global community.

Unless, you know, sometimes you just need it to be "a place to crash", and sometimes that’s okay too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach pretty deep on topics in design and engineering.

I consider myself a lifelong learner and would love to learn about what you consider yourself expert in.

I’m a terrible cook. Teach me a recipe?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, help with chores, and would be happy to take you out for food. Just please don’t ask me to cook - I wouldn’t want to poison you!
