CURRENT MISSION See as much of this beautiful as I can. ABOUT ME Well, I would not say this was everything about me, but I do love to travel--mostly for the scenery--been to more than 40 countries and hope to see some more. I really enjoy doing science, if one has to have a job, and hope to get a job working on the Antarctica peninsula some time. I really enjoy the outdoors, hiking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, running, playing soccer and Ultimate, biking, gardening, you name it. I also really like my cat, and cats in general. The rest you will have to find out on your own when you meet me. PHILOSOPHY I really do believe in Good Karma. I think that trying to do what you think other's should do is the first step. I also believe that the body is where we really live and that taking care of it will make you happier and mentally happier. I guess related to that is I believe in personal responsibility--bad things happen to everyone--it's how you respond to them that makes you who you are.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Just starting out couch surfing, but I have spent many a month traveling the world and the US staying on friends' floors and couches. Guess I am just expanding my definition of friends. I do have a couch, but it is not very comfy and my place is small. Once I get a new couch or a bigger place, I'll do more hosting. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Not yet. Though many a fond memory of friends' couches.

Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I have taught hundreds of folks to snowboard and I have a lot of experience with both soccer and Ultimate. I love biology and am always eager to share what I know and learn more.
