Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met such great people through Couch Surfing, and I recommend it to all my travelin' buddies.

Interests

Friends and family. Books that are good for reading. Coffee table books. Music (esp live, or newly discovered). The great outdoors, and when that's not possible, the great indoors too. Tina Fey. My tacky side. The Secret Language of Birthdays. The politics of everything. Clear things. Outdoor Education. Adapting. School. Power Yoga. Foooood. Travel (duh). Making lists. Photography. Maybe saving the world?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I cooked a delicious spaghetti dinner for 30 people on a rock outcropping over a gorge at sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach you? Some highlights include: how to take a decent picture, tie some cool knots, peel a shrimp/crawfish at warp speed, make something nice for your mom out of clay, and keep your food supply relatively safe in bear country.

I'd like to learn how to be more patient, and about anything else you might know.
