CURRENT MISSION

explore and have fun make it back to the states before I run out of money

ABOUT ME

I enjoy lots of stuff and am easy going but enjoy most things outside. If you wanna know more you just have to meet me. I have to warn you though that I have spent the last two years living in the middle of Africa living with a family of 10-14 people depending on the week so I have developed some strange habits and speech patterns.

PHILOSOPHY

be nice, don't be afraid to laugh at yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have pretty much failed to participate. I lived in Duluth MN, but have worked all my summers as a camp councilor and never got a request. Then My only requests came while I was on vacation in Africa. Most people saw the family and stayed away, but I have not been able to really host people as when you live 2 hours from Victora Falls or Chobe, people generally attempt to skip your town to get the the exciting stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a few friends that do couch surfing and love it. In Namibia the volunteer network work like couch surfing, but its not really the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Johnothan Strange and Mr. Norell, and most books that get my imagination going.

I like all types of music it just depends on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2 years in The caprivi strip with Peace Corps. 4 summers working at camps for kids with special needs. Spent some time as a salsa instructor. Hard to say to busy looking forward to the next adventure currently.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some african culture I have picked up over the last two years. I also have a slack line along for a skill. Salsa dancing or swing dancing is always an option in my mind, and then I guess I can put some people to sleep with some biochem knowledge, but would rather just dance.
