CURRENT MISSION Teaching English to refugees in Kansas City Kansas, helping with dog training (see below), writing, and planning Europe trip in late summer 2018. ABOUT ME Former banker, telemarketer, business owner, Peace Corps volunteer/staff member, currently living in God's country (aka Kansas). Older but probably not wiser. As of March 26, we have a dog, Australian shepherd, very sweet and not as high-energy as we'd been warned, just lively enough. PHILOSOPHY Leave the world a better place than you found it. And wipe your feet before you come in. (That's my "mom voice" talking.) Bark less, wag more.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love Kansas City--it has museums, sports teams (baseball, soccer, football), friendly people, and world-famous barbecue. We have restaurants for vegans as well as carnivores. I also love Lawrence, about 25 miles west, one of the best small (rather, small-ish) towns in America. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE In 2016, spent 6 weeks in Europe, stayed with CSers in Germany and Poland. A great experience (thanks, Maria, Eva, and Jens). Have hosted a couple of guys in KC, and stayed with CSers here in the US as well.

Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
I can cook a pretty good Italian spaghetti and meatball dinner and some awesome chili. My partner knows all the good beer pubs in KC and is always up for a night out.
Co mogę zaoferować Hostom
English language practice, cooking skills, lots of stories about getting lost in many different countries.
Moje zainteresowania
If I have time, I participate in local politics and try to help Kansas get back on the right path after its sad experience of recent years!
