This community was recommended to me as I was looking to support my new found love of traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems like a cool way for me to step out of my comfort zone and meet people while traveling.

Interests

Doing more, seeing more, being... more. There is so much out there for me to explore, but I really am not an experienced traveler. And I find that I tend to be weighed down by reservations. I'm hoping it will become easier with practice.

• exploring new places
• having fun

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen to all kinds of music - too many favorites to name. And I love a good movie watched on a huge screen with booming surround sound and a tub of popcorn. I am just now getting back into reading. I don't care for paperbacks, ebooks are better for my schedule.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching in a foreign country.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have our own life paths, full of experiences. Therefore, I feel, in most cases we can learn something from any and everyone. It's just not as easy at times. Take Mandarin, for example. I've been trying to learn that for 2 years. Can't quite seem to get into it. It's such a difficult language. Or maybe I'm just a poor student - reality check. That learning difficulty aside, making and sharing as many new experiences as possible is one of my recent life goals.
