Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've been doing lots of traveling when not teaching but so much of the time has been on my own. I see places by myself, barely meet any locals, drift out without making a mark. I want to have a proper exchange! I know lots of people on here say they like meeting people, but I'm shy and trying to change that bit by bit
Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite films in no particular order Dr. Strangelove The Right Stuff Cabaret Pan’s Labyrinth Portrait of a Lady on Fire Chungking Express The Great Dictator Possession The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover To Be or Not to Be The Passion of Joan of Arc The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Picnic at Hanging Rock MUSIC I'm not picky here but Florence and the Machine is my favorite band BOOKS/AUTHORS Terry Pratchett Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I once broke into the Empire State Building, it's not as exciting a story as you would think
Teach, Learn, Share
Teaches: English on the literal level, life in rural united states on the metaphorical level Learns: Whatever you're happy to teach me Share: I have three siblings so I learned to share growing up (I really don't understand this section, I'm sorry)
What I Can Share With Hosts
My thoughts, my experiences, occasionally some fancy Albanian Rakia to drink
