CURRENT MISSION

We learn more about ourselves through learning about others.

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and open-minded. My wife and I hosted many exchange students since 2000. I enjoy entertaining friends with dinners and cookouts, and love meeting people from other countries and sharing our culture with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we have lived too long afraid of each other. If we are going to evolve into a better world, we have to gain more tolerance and understanding. The more interaction we can have with people from other places, the more open we become. This will make each us better, and thus make the world better for future generations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am looking find people to hang out with when I travel abroad. I can prepare a meal or play some music on piano or keyboard for you if you have one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had great experiences meeting couchsurfers.

Interests

I love local cultures, shops, cooking new cuisines, and playing various games from other places. I love to dance and play music, as I'm a pianist. I also just enjoy talking and sharing with others. Museums and historical sites are another important aspect of our interests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Gershwin, Harry Connick, Jr., EDM, Mozart, Chopin, etc.
I don't have a favorite movie genre. I enjoy most movies as long as they aren't stupid.

Classic Literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to multiple countries and worked with the foreign exchange program.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help anyone build their English skills; I can teach some cooking lessons in American cooking. I am wanting to learn about the about the European way of thinking and share in the openness of its people.
