Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I offer my couch and my friendship. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have a wonderful friend named Adnan, who told me of his good experiences couch surfing in Europe. I met some couch surfers in Boston that had hosted also. I've had many wonderful hosting experiencs, formed lasting valuable friendships.
Music, Movies, and Books
Ever read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It drove me nuts, I had to leave school and teach windsurfing to kids in Mexico while I put my head on straight again. Great fun to read. DUNE: like science fiction? you'll love Dune. I want to ride giant sand worms.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
This underground swimming hole in a cave in some random backyard in Mexico is one my favorite places on Earth.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach you some things.. math, chess. English. Sailing, snowboarding, kayaking. Lifeguarding and Wilderness First Aid. How to build a camp fire. How to have fun.
