我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love learning about culture through the lens of the individuals I meet. I have a penchant for learning and I enjoy using formal and informal educational settings as gateways to experience other cultures. Couchsurfing has carbonated my travelling experience in a big way.

兴趣

Intellectual and musical jamming! My "instruments" are: guitar, violin, sitar, and percussion, yoga, philosophy, art, law, psychology, culture, travel, photography, writing, science, and big dogs.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a certified yoga teacher, music instructor (guitar), professional photographer, and philosophical know-it-all. I'm also not too bad in the kitchen (but veg only). Love to do projects or talent-exchanges with people I meet along the way.
