I love meeting new people, trying new things, exploring the outdoors, traveling (which I suppose every couchsurfer says), reading, eating, and learning about different cultures.
Originally from Missouri, I was an ESL teacher in South Korea for about 5 years. Moved back to Missouri to be closer to family.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and have had positive experiences on Couchsurfing. I feel like when I've stayed with hosts, I've seen a more authentic side to my destinations and they've broadened my perspective.
