CURRENT MISSION

Learning how the world grows. The people, plants, and animals.

ABOUT ME

teacher of the maths and histories and leader of the youngsters.

PHILOSOPHY

"All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted surfers at our little house in Austin and I just surfed myself for the first time in France. It makes for such a rich (and FUN) cultural experience. I hope to continue to host and surf til I'm old and even grayer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few times in Austin before surfing a couple times in Europe - awesome hosts in Marseille and Brussels. Each experience has been very positive and a few have been unforgettable. The entire idea is just fantastic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you: how to shoot a basketball, how to make tacos, how to play basic chords on guitar, photoshop, golf, math, history, english. I am a teacher, after all :)

I love learning about the world and other cultures. I am very interested in learning about growing food, cooking, new languages, places to see, how to brew beer, and anything else I don't know (which is a lot!).
