CURRENT MISSION

Moved to Japan to Teach English, Now Getting Myself Set up....

ABOUT ME

Been away from America for two years... in Europe, then India, Thailand, Cambodia... teaching along the way... now in Japan for a while...

PHILOSOPHY

I hate racism and war... I like tolerance and peace... is that too easy? You would think everyone felt this way, but if you read the newspapers, it doesn't seem to be the case...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This network is new to me, but my friend Owen from Ireland says it's great, so I'll give it a shot....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's been amazing to be outside of the US for two years... after San Francisco (which is where I want to go back to when I return to the US in 2008 or so...), I lived in New York City and was there for September 11th... after being in the rat race for 7 years, I wanted to travel around a while... been in England, Ireland, Hungary, Czech Republic, India (was in Dharamsala with the Tibetans), Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos... and now have my sights set on Japan...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people improve their English, wash their dishes, talk about my travels... or just shut up and listen to what they have to say...
