Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to CS. Hoping some rad couchsurfing experiences are in my future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brand spanking new.

Interests

Cultural events of all kinds (concerts, cafes, museums, markets, etc.).

• concerts
• education
• teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

Memoirs. Not your typical chronicles of a famous person's life. Rather, real people writing about their extraordinary experiences.

TV + Movies. Love 'em all! Wait, not nonsense ones. For some reason, I cannot wrap my mind around Napoleon Dynamite, Borat, and Anchorman. Don't judge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Serving 1,100 urban education students, the school I teach at is ranked high among similar charters. We serve 90% minority, 75% qualifying free and reduced lunch, 50% English Learner, 100% beautiful, capable, and deserving students. Everyday, I move to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and INNOVATION in a community whose children are too often told that true success is far out of reach.

Teach, Learn, Share

I seriously need to work on my Spanish skills. Any help is greatly appreciated!
