I revel in the strangeness and humor of life.

I love food - there's very little I won't try!

I am very friendly and easy-going, and as a guest I am always respectful of my host's wishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I'm in Europe, living out of my backpack until early August 2015. I hope to see unusual sights, meet some wonderful people, and find some interesting work. Though I'm new to this site, it seems like it's great way to do all these things!

Interests

Everything is interesting if you ask the right questions.

But, often on my mind:

Film, Photography, Fiction; the structure of languages, the composition of songs, video games, human evolution; Leo Messi

I love to go rock climbing because I find it meditative. I also enjoy are tennis, soccer, and basketball.

I like cooking, but I know nothing :)

I play a lot of guitar and some piano; I really want an accordion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled in a small car with two friends across and around the USA - we drove 9000 miles in 18 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have qualifications as an English teacher and I'd love to find a job teaching at a school during my trip; in the meantime, I'm glad to help you if you feel you need to practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences; my books; will teach guitar, or piano, or English; and I'll play you a song if you have a guitar
