About Me

I am not great at learning languages but I keep trying.
I teach abroad and travel a lot.
I love having people over but my big new puppy is getting used to people so you really have to be a dog person if you want to try and I would recommend having backup plans in case it doesn’t workout. Niger is an interesting place but a bit off the beaten path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a cool group of CS surfers in Dubai through camping. I like traveling and I like meeting people who travel.
