ABOUT ME

Detroit native/Grand Rapids transplant. Here in Grand Rapids, I am a former English teacher turned culinary student. My adventures include exploring my own city, creating delicious drinks and food, traveling to other cities, making jewelry, and spending time with friends and family.

PHILOSOPHY

I am passionate about reading and cooking, and I love sharing these things with others, especially the children I teach. I love exploring new places, and I love sharing my home and my favorite places with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, and I hope to find companions around the world that I can stay with and explore new cities with. I hope to provide a warm home, a warm shower, a good meal, and possibly new adventures with any travelers that may come my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a CS newbie! I've hosted a number of friends, and I have slept on a number of friends' couches and floors, and I've stayed with and hosted just a few strangers. I am open to and excited about couchsurfing experiences!
