Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Traveling, meeting new people, enjoying a meal with them and touring parts unknown is a passion. I don't do group travel or tourist "traps", as they cut the heart and soul out of every great place. I also don’t go to shopping malls when traveling - unless it has a grocery and I’m in need of produce and protein!
Music, Movies, and Books
Tolkien, Pratchett, Poe, Kerouac, Christopher Moore, Ted L. Nancy, Twain, Hemingway, King, Ludlum, Chaucer
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I can quote Firefly verbatim.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: English, Science, piano; Learn -- love to learn *anything*, especially languages; Share - my culture, other travel experiences, my gift as an amateur chef
What I Can Share With Hosts
Other travel experiences and recommendations, preparation of varied cuisines from around the world (I'm a very respectable amateur chef).
My Interests
Outdoors, music, music festivals, hiking, swimming, off the beaten path, avoiding tourist traps, enjoying good food, good wine, good coffee, good ice cream, and especially: good company.
