CURRENT MISSION

to believe six impossible things before breakfast

ABOUT ME

Some random tidbits...

I consult and teach app development, I play soccer, I sing in a symphony chorus. I was a Peace Corps volunteer from 2000-2002 and I haven't done enough international travel since. I'm laid back, easy to get along with, and have an open mind. I love to cook and can make a top-notch apple pie.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life in search of community, love and meaningful connections to people. The meaning of life is to share your passions with other people and to learn about their passions, and to receive and give love.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a few Obama volunteers on my couch during his election campaign. I'm excited to see the prospects of connecting to cool people all over the world!

Intereses

I love reading, writing and other creative activities. I love to travel, especially somewhere that makes me learn new things. I am fascinated by languages and have a good ear for accents.

I am passionate about technology and how it can be a creative tool, and I have been a programmer ever since middle school.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I lived for two years in Guinea, West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. I was there as a teacher, but I learned more than I ever taught, and more than I can describe concisely here.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I will give anybody cooking lessons, and I love to teach people the basics of computer programming. It's not as hard as it might seem, and it can be very fun and creative.
