Hi! I am American living in the lovely, small city of Gabrovo, Bulgaria, where I teach English at a local high school. I love traveling, meeting people, and exploring nature. (Duh! Who wouldn't be on Couchsurfing if they didn't?!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to connect with other English speakers and travelers. I have a lovely apartment that is created to host. With few people my age in Gabrovo, I am looking forward to meeting others as they explore Bulgaria and the Balkans.

Interests

• concerts
• running
• hiking
• ultimate frisbee
• teaching english
