Perché sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'd like to share different cultures, knowledge, friendship and networking through CouchSurfing. I want to travel, meet people, learn from others, and also host people when they are visiting my place (NYC) or my long-time resident town (Tucson, Arizona). Let's make this world a better place for everyone, with friendship and understanding! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've stayed with friends (which I didn't connect through couchsurfing), in their couches or extra bedrooms / beds in Los Angeles, Phoenix, United Arab Emirates, St. Petersburg Russia, New York City, New Jersey, Minneapolis, San Angelo TX, etc.
Musica, film e libri
Classical music, jazz, pop, anything that is good and interesting. Composers: Bach, Mozart, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Prokofev, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Mile Davis, Balakirev, etc. etc. Books: Hmmm.... lots...

Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I don't know... I think when a student learns and feels motivated and have the "aha" moments.... that is a great reward for us teachers. Yes I do teach, music / arts / curriculum. But I think it's better for others to judge what kind of amazing things you've done in life.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
We can learn: 1. different cultures, habits, manners 2. be more considerate of others 3. be more helpful We can teach: 1. our culture / ways of living (the good ones) 2. special ways of cooking / saving / living 3. special recipes to cook food, special dishes 4. teach music to our hosts / share music 5. get more connections and friends..??
