I am a college student on sabbatical. So I enjoy learning and reading, as much as I enjoy dancing and going to concerts. I travel to meet new people, cultures, and have good conversation

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing offers the very special experince of actually participating in another culture, rather than just observing or watching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught a 2 week adventure/survival course. Included planning and managing two backpacking trips, teaching basic survival skills, conducting a test of skills learned, and 4 teeneage girls. It was both exhausting and fulfilling.

My last birthday fell on a total solar eclipse, so I went on a road trip to see it. Many people described the experience as spiritual, but for me it was more of a deep appriciation for nature.
