About Me

ABOUT ME

I've lived, worked, and traveled in Germany the last couple years and am currently back in the States visiting family and enjoying my time here. Throughout my travels, I've realized the more locals you get to know, the more enjoyable your time traveling will be, hence why I'm a big fan of couchsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

I figure, basically if I respect everyone else's philosophy, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Oh, and the golden rule.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say the Horseradish Festival in my girlfriend's tiny hometown ranks pretty high up there. I think it qualified as "amazing" to see THAT MANY people turn up just to celebrate horseradish.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach German. I can teach English. I can teach Super Smash Bros (N64 only). I can teach most sports. I can teach how to teach.

Everything else, I'd leave up to someone else to teach me :-)
