Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to experience Europe from as many sides as possible. I realize that my knowledge is quite limited and I long to draw from the experience and knowledge of wiser, more experienced, and local people/perspectives!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hillsong United (Empires album is great)
Whitney Houston (and Mariah Carey too, gosh they're powerful)
Mario (when I need to get some R&B on)

The Chronicles of Narnia (CS Lewis) = favorite book series of all time
The Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkein) = a very close 2nd
Historical fiction by GA Henty

Always Star Wars. Top spot, #1, no question. I do love action and thrill too, Bourne movies, Gladiator, We Were Soldiers, but I always love some classic Disney (Lion King and Tarzan are the go to's)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met and spoken with Dr. Jane Goodall!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure I have much to offer as a teacher...I feel that I can teach most anything there is to know about the English language or the game of tennis. I am an amateur photographer so can teach my basic knowledge of photography/editing.

I am also happy to learn from more experienced photographers! I am always up for learning language, history, culture and tradition...and will never turn down a good long talk about religion or truth or "the why" of us and the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise to be respectful and eager to learn (also happy to share my own story/experiences/culture). I like to stay busy and will probably want to be out and about exploring, learning, and trying the most random foods I can find. But I will not come back loud/belligerent drunk (or drunk at all for that matter).
