I teach seasonally at an environmental education school in New England and am spending my winter learning and working on farms through WWOOFing. I am an experienced educator who cares about making environmentally conscious choices and empowering children to care for the earth and for each other. I am currently interested in learning more about the systems involved in organic farming and the ways access to food impacts communities. I teach conservation, biology, and social justice classes at my job and am a peaceful, responsible person. I am an experienced backpacker and traveler, a reader, a coffee and beer drinker, a eater of vegetables, and a mediocre flute player. I'm excited to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and making friends in new places. I was lucky enough to share a house with seven of my best friends last year in western MA while in grad school and hosted many couchsurfers, all of whom were exceptionally lovely. I travel all over the U.S. frequently and would love to make friends and learn from people along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked as a math teacher with a class of inner-city fourth-graders. They were my greatest adventure by far.

Teach, Learn, Share

Backpacking, outdoor skills, hitchiking, making tiny instruments, Irish music, iced coffee brewing, theories of child development and outdoor education?

What I Can Share with Hosts

An extremely positive attitude.
