ABOUT ME

Extroverted. Curious. Adventurous. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures.

My personality type is ENTP, which means "Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving". If you're interested, then here is a good description:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet and get to know people. Hostels are great for meeting people quickly and hanging out for a day or two, but you rarely get to know anyone well. Couchsurfing allows that opportunity - if the host has the time for it. Also, I like the idea of staying with a local who can recommend neighborhood restaurants, cafes, etc. However, I'm an independent traveler so I don't expect or need a host to "hold my hand" or act as a tour guide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left a successful career as an engineer in the U.S. to move to the Caribbean and teach scuba diving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn about the food, history, culture and something about the language of places I visit. Did I mention FOOD? ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bottle of wine and the cultural perspective of a North American who has lived in Europe for more than 10 years. Lots of information about Prague and the Czech Republic.
