I am a special education teacher taking a sabbatical to recharge after over 10 years in public education. I’ve lived in 4 US states and have visited 44! I am fairly new to international travel and so far have visited Costa Rica, Canada, Mexico, India, Nepal, and Italy.

I like to be outside and usually spend a month hiking and camping during my summer breaks. I love making music, dancing, and creating art.

I’m not using couchsurfing to date or hook up! Please don’t host me with that intention.
