I teach people (mainly kids) how to speak English

I like the beach, sunshine is awesome, red wine is better than white wine, laughing is good exercise; the beach is awesome like a good cup of tea :)

Philosophy - Peace, Love, Hope, Charity, Forgiveness; Be Excellent to Each Other; Dust Your Shoulders and Keep on Going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cultural learning, new perspectives and meeting like-minded travellers. We don't always have to agree, but we can always learn something new. True open-mindedness is understanding that people don't always have the same opinions, but that's okay.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most genres of music - especially 80's music; Soul; New Wave; 60's and 70's.

I especially like American authors such as Richard Brautigan - Sombrero Fallout, A Confederate General from Big Sur; and John Steinbeck - Cannery Row, Tortilla Flat.

Objectively the best movie ever might be The Big Lebowski, (but I also like guilty pleasures such as Dude where's my car, Pineapple Express, Revenge of the Nerds :D)
