Hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None through this website yet, though in my travels I've often been given a couch to crash on, and have returned the favor. My favorite such experience involved meeting a couple in a ghost town in Montana who mentioned that their daughter lived in Virginia. When I was bicycling through Virginia several months later I called them up and they happened to be in the state! They invited me over for 3 days (it was Thanksgiving!) and we had a blast, each sharing the adventures of the previous months that brought us there.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'm a decent cook and a novice paper folder. I've also spent months at a time camping outdoors. (I've got a good deal of math and science background, but that's often less desired :))I've got a bottomless curiosity and would be interested in learning any new skill or trade someone was willing to talk about. I also aspire to be a rockin' swing dancer and guitar player and can share the bits I know.
