Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not through Couchsurfing yet, but I've been a host to many travelers, mostly from Germany and I have visited them many times as we have become ecxellent friends.

Interests

Meeting and learning from people and embracing diversity. I am an educator, but first I am human, therefore a brother and then a teacher that seeks everlasting knowledge to help make each day a wonderful day for you, for me; for them, for us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first grade students were learning a typical Mexican folkloric dance and when the instructor cancelled, I took upon the chore and I even put on a big skirt (on top of my pants) and made up some moves and the dance was successful. I spent eight summers living in a van as I went to work with migrat farm workers in Northern California. I learn that one does not need anything else other than your very basics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make bracelets and necklaces with my students and I've gotten kind of good at it! I have many years experience as a cook as well. I have an extensive library and I am always promoting reading and giving books away.
