**** Will ONLY reply to hosting offers from WOMEN.****

I just graduated law school and will be starting my career as a public defender this coming fall. I love traveling, the arts, food, animals, and children. I'm always down for a good time or spontaneous adventure. I find myself constantly laughing- a random funny experience will pop into my head and I start to laugh out loud.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard great things about couchsurfing from colleagues of mine. They always come back with new friends and an insider's perspective on the culture they're experiencing. It's also a great way to make your trip more affordable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught public speaking, rhetoric for social change, and interpersonal communication to college students as well as English as a second language to K-12.

I want to learn to speak French, how to play the piano, and how to do a head stand.

I'm a sharer of stories, laughs, and love.
