Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By learning from and sharing with every person I come into contact with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only hosted once, tried to surf in Guinea but it didn't work out so well.

Interests

I like to stay in and read or cook a good meal, listen to music. I like to be out in nature. I really like cold rainy days but the sun is nice too. I guess generally I'm a pretty agreeable person when it comes to flexibility in my surroundings so if you want to know about something in particular, just ask, not too good with describing interests in a paragraph.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Bluegrass, folk and americana but I like most other music as well.

Movies: Depends on the mood.

Books: Slightly depressed when I don't have a good one to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a week with a Peace Corps volunteer in a remote village in Senegal, sifting sheep poop, filling seed sacks and talking to local farmers about how to grow trees.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've found that generally we can all learn new perspectives and information from anyone we give even 5 minutes to.

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Guinea, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Senegal, United States
