When I was considering my career, I originally wanted to be a doctor, obstetrician to be exact, but went into education instead "so that I would have time to travel." As life rolls along we tend to put our head down and work away. Well I looked up not long ago and realized I wasn't raveling enough. So here I am spending the time I have carved out for my life doing what my heart has always wanted to do most... see the world.

I am educated, love to laugh, explore, and am eternally learning. I do teach teenagers for a living and they certainly keep me young at heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm traveling Europe, I would rather see the world through the eyes of the locals than put myself up in a hotel by myself where I have to fight to get away from the tourist traps. The more money I save, the more traveling I can do!

Interests

I love interacting with people from other cultures! I became a teacher so that I would have time to see the world and meet as many people as possible along the way. I love Astronomy, History, horses, film, and photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes in music are classifiably eclectic. I likely will like it if it's not One Direction or the like, rap, or free form jazz (the sassy sultry stuff is okay)!
Movies I enjoy immensely! I know Game of Thrones is a show, but I see it as an epic movie production... And I'm a huge fan!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stopped a kidnapping once.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Well, that's my profession, so if you want to get into a genetics debate about GMOs... No probably not!
I know a lot about Astronomy, the War of the Roses, and how to get through University successfully while hitting all the parties.
Learn: yes! I am a perpetual learner and tend to go into new places eager to absorb the customs and traditions of those around me.
Share: Food! I like cooking if I can and that's always fun to share, especially while swapping stories!
