I try to see the best in every situation. Understanding is key and I hope to promote it. I have spent the last few years of my life trying to eucate people while being educated myself.

Ich versuche immer tolerent zu sein. Ich habe in Ausbildung den lezten paar Jahren geareitet und möchte von andere Leute auch lernen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just logged onto this site for the first time in maybe, 8 years? I'm married now and have a baby. We could possibly host someone in Greensboro NC. I have had great experiences surfing and hosting. I traveled in Europe and Texas through CS. I have hosted people in North Carolina only.
