My name is Ian. I like to travel, dance, meet new people, and explore new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet new people. I believe that the best way to get to know a city is to get to know its inhabitants. I find that it has enhanced my ability to enjoy various cities across the US and Europe. I only recently learned about this website, but I have already had an excellent experience using it when I travelled through France with two of my best friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone to Cuba and studied their political economy shortly after Raùl Castro started to liberalize the economy, so I got a chance to see the old Cuba.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach swing blues and swing dance, I'd love to learn new cultures or ways of doing things, and I can share stories, friendship, and maybe an adventure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am open-minded and pretty relaxed. I can share lots of stories and whatever I know about antiques, records (78s), and hopefully friendship.
