CURRENT MISSION

To Live, Love and Learn while having as much fun as humanly possible!

ABOUT ME

Easygoing.

PHILOSOPHY

I just want to live my life as fully and honestly as possible with out having to worry to much about things that don't matter to me. I'd like to find a place between total ignorance of the state of the world and outright panic and outrage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a chance to participate at all yet but I think this is the most brilliant, real and interesting use I've seen for the internet and I want in!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I drive across the country several times a year and always prefer to stay with friends than in a sad, lonely hotel. My only regret is that usually I am on some ridiculous time table with a load of stock which is getting more and more wrinkly with every hour so I never get to spend more than one or two days with anybody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Guinnee with my African dance teacher and got to take lessons with three dancers from the National Ballet of Guinnee everyday for three weeks. Amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always have a hard time feeling like I'm good enough at any one thing to teach it to someone else but I am sure I have plenty of things I could teach to a beginner.
Some hand-crafts, some rhythms, some recipes.
I am starting to learn Bass guitar and I appreciate all kinds of music.
