If you’re visiting Nashville, let me know if you want to hang out or need any recommendations. I've lived here for the past nine years teaching high school English. Working with students is a great joy--they give me so much hope. Over school breaks, I’m visiting my family and exploring the world.

Sharing stories and experiences with people I meet inspires me. You can often find me laughing, singing, and discussing interesting ideas with thoughtful people. I love to learn. I’m always up for new experiences. Would love to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling much more if I can share my experiences with other people. I’d love to show travelers around Nash while I’m here.
