ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i just arrived in siagon today and my sister, who's traveling europe, told me to give this a shot. literally sitting at the bus station and will fill this in more later. you could check out my facebook profile (same name), or my flickr www.flickr.com/photos/gbaron for now ... kinda sick of updating so many profiles if you know what i mean

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couch surfing is the bomb. when i travel i always look for home-stays. when it comes to hostels i always favour those with communal meals, and honesty books where you're trusted to fill in what you've eaten. they may not be as 'clean' but if i wanted clean i would have moved in with my parents ...

Intereses

photography. this year off has been about living out that national geographic dream ... i'm really just ranting now

• books
• photography
• traveling
• surfing
• physics

Música, películas y libros

the last three books i read were the "the sorrows of war" and "paradise of the blind" ... both novels set in vietnam where i am at presently... then it was "south of the border, west of the moon" by Haruki Murakami ... i think i need something more lighthearted like the "alchemist". open to suggestion

Algo increíble que he hecho

wow there are a lot of questions ... more later.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

i love teaching, not necessarily good at it, but i enjoy it. in toronto i actually teach first year calc and physics, but i don't think that's so useful on the road ... right now i normally just help people with the manual settings of their cameras.
