I love to play
on mountains: skiing, running, hiking, climbing
by oceans: boogie boarding, reading, freckling
in houses: crosswords, scrabble, cards
on water: canoeing, kayaking, wakeboarding

I love people
smiling & laughing
hearing stories
telling stories

I learn by doing
particularly building
anything from light sculptures to houses

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To travel meeting interesting & engaging people (also cheaply)
To keep the excitement of travel in my life while being stationary (and to aid others in being cheap)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Helped high school kids design and build speakers using only tape, paper plates/cups, wire, aux cable, and a magnet. The look on their faces when they plugged into the boom box and heard trap queen playing faintly out of their speakers was awesome!!! I wish all science education could be done with projects like that

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach cross country skiing, juggling, unicycling, speaker- making, and some killer card games

looking to learn surfing (i've been once), white water kayaking, and improve my climbing
