Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just surfing for now, but moving to Seattle soon, and I hope to return the favor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in the Philippines for 9 months by myself. No harm came to me. Other than a couple motor bike accidents and nearly drowning in a raging river.
Teach, Learn, Share
I play and teach piano, french horn and guitar. I can also play songs by ear. I know a little Spanish, a little French, a little Tagalog. Would love to practice these languages. (Filipinos will always have a space on my couch in Seattle, in exchange for Tagalog lessons!)
