TCK/perpetual expat, currently teaching English with the Peace Corps in Indonesia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

surfed in Chicago, US; Fes, Morocco; Granada and Zaragoza, Spain; Blois and Tours, France; Dublin, Ireland

So far it's been interesting and encouraging to find so many open-minded and brilliant people who would otherwise have been hiding in plain sight.

learn: your local lingo, how to yodel, how to do a cartwheel, fishing, how to play darts (or if that's too ambitious, anything else involving hand-eye coordination-- seriously, it's that bad)

share: bad jokes
