Hey! I’m Rick! I’m a chemistry teacher currently on sabbatical, trying to see some more of the world. I tell lots of crazy stories to make people laugh and play the guitar to enjoy the wonders of music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to collect adventures and good memories in life, rather than expensive stuff. I also believe in the principle do good to others so that they may do good to others. In that sense I help people find a place to sleep the night so that I may find the same.
