Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love the idea that is Couchsurfing. While living in Jordan as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I had the opportunity to host a handful of folks at my place in Bseira, Tafilah, Jordan. We had a lot of fun. Some visited my school, enjoyed traditional meals at my friends' houses, went hiking with me in the Dana Reserve, among other things. I also hope to do some traveling of my own some day, and look forward to participating in some CS-ing as a surfer.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

Teach, Learn, Share
I can definitely help with learning colloquial Jordanian Arabic, as I've been learning for almost three years now and am speaking at an Advanced-High level.
