About Me

Hi!
Wow am I late to this phenomenon!
An American Creative who was subject to international vacations growing up. I recently taught English to kids in Japan for a few years. A child of the Earth! Considerate and honest. I love design and how and why things function. I design websites and hope to find a design agency to work for.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and feel like computers and video games are a big part of who I am. I was a Raver for ten years from 95' I miss PLUR and the communal vibe...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping that by couch surfing I can get lucky enough to find an anchor while I attend job interviews. I want to meet new people while finding like-minded folks in interesting places!

Music, Movies, and Books

Drum and Bass
I love Hospital Records and an internet radio community called Bassdrive.com -Dub FX

I don't do an awful lot of actual book reading these days, but I have been known to get lost in books from time to time, it really depends where I am and how much time I have. I do read a lot online, I frequent reddit.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went Cliff Diving on the Big Island Hawai`i~! Done more than one amazing thing ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English to children ages 0-14. Teaching is a very special skill, in that most people know how to use their native language, but knowing how to explain how it works, is extremely important to being a teacher. One could say that once one has been in teaching mode it's no longer just about teaching whatever the subject was but now its a part of who and how one is and how they communicate. I am a listener and a speaker and love hearing other's perspectives and knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, chores, rent, good times, and so much more!~ :D I believe in the balance in life and that with every Take comes a Give and vice versa.
