I'm new to couchsurfing. I'm interested in going hiking and exploring what places have to offer. I used to work in tourism so I know a few ropes but always appreciate the aid of locals. I am a kind, hospitable person who wants to experience quotidian life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To experience what it means to live in a country, to meet people, and to learn another way that people travel.

教，学，和分享

I'm ready for all three. I like language exchanges. I am native in English (clear Midwest accent) and am learning French, Spanish, Catalan, and German.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A sense of humor. I can teach you how to play card games like UNO, Phase 10, Skip-Bo, Rummy, and Pitch. I am not afraid to help clean the house -- sweep, dust, wash dishes, vacuum, etc -- as needed. I can also make Oreo brownies the American way.
