CURRENT MISSION

to learn about the world through the eyes of strangers

ABOUT ME

i teach high school sociology, psychology and government. i love teaching. it is my life. i am an eternal student myself. i think my students have as much to teach me as i them. i live every day as best i can. i read, talk, think... and then repeat the process. there are very few things i know for sure. i try and keep an open mind.

PHILOSOPHY

we are all connected. the world is my home and my actions, beliefs and experiences affect others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i would love to get more families involved. folks like me and my wife who love to travel, want to expand their cultural experiences, or who just don't have the cash to stay in a hotel. i would love to host families passing through our neck of the woods.

Interests

books. movies. world religions. i try and keep an open mind about everything. if you've had a different experience than me, i want to hear about it.
