COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couch surfed quite a bit in Europe during my college days, but deleted that account a while ago because I wasn't using it. Love couch surfing and think it's a great way to meet new people and see things from a local perspective.

I love foreign languages and cooking. Sometimes they go together, sometimes they don't---recently did a six month stint in Mexico City learning Spanish and taking cooking classes---one of the best experiences of my life.
