Every person is a fascinating world within themselves. You are welcomed and accepted because you are unique to this planet.

I have hosted singles, couples, and families. All are welcome.

Laughing and making others laugh is deeply satisfying. Exploring new places is great, but I also enjoy sitting somewhere listening to the stories and experiences of others.

It's great when someone pushes me to try new things and new experiences. (I sometimes play a game where I ask a stranger to give me a challenge to do within 24 hours, and then whatever it is that they say, I try to do it.)

Want a small, fun daily challenge for each day you're in Malta? Let me know (even if you aren't staying with me) and I'm happy to give you a small activity/challenge to complete that day. Most challenges don't take more than 5 minutes to complete, but are designed to make your day and your Malta visit more interesting. (There are a total of 10 possible Malta challenges - so far only once couchsurfing couple has completed all 10.)

I look forward to meeting you and hosting you for a few days. Welcome in advance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a little bit of extra space. Why not share it?

Interests

I love learning new things. My Christmas list often has a few books about obscure topics: folk skills from the Appalachian mountain region, how to apply stage makeup, edible plants of Central Asia, or the history of ketchup.

If you choose to have a quiet day at the apartment, take a look at the bookshelf. Surely you'll find a book to capture your interest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I'm always interested in reading any book about an unknown topic. Any recommendations?

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always interested in learning something new. The world is full of people with different skills and knowledge.

What I can share:
1) Curiosity: Lots of questions about whatever you are knowledgeable about.
2) Basic Spanish: You know the normal phrases: "Hola, como estas? Como te llamas? Por que me estas robando? Los guantes van en tus manos, no sobre la cabeza," etc.
3) I'd be happy to discuss game theory and how together we can gamify tedious parts of your life to make it more fun.
4) I like having people challenge me to new things I haven't tried before - it makes my day more interesting. I'm willing to give you a challenge as well if you ask for one.
5) I can discuss educational theory - but let's be honest, it's a party killer. So unless you specifically want to know more, I'll keep it to myself.
6) I can bake you cinnamon rolls, lemon bars, banana chocolate cake, etc.or make you pancakes or waffles if you request them (when I'm hosting you) or when have the right ingredients and equipment (pans, oven, etc.) if you're hosting me.
