CURRENT MISSION

Eat interesting new things, lay on pretty beaches, climb tall trees, and drink cold beer!

ABOUT ME

I am most happy in the woods or in another outdoor venue. I love to bike, swim, hike, backpack, row, cook, and eat. I am a teacher by profession, i prefer to teach math or French. I'm currently teaching math in California. I like to meet new people while i travel, and cook a meal with them, or simply share a cold one. I find seeing a new city through the eyes of a local is always more satisfying than just being a tourist. Couchsurfing appeals to me because of this! My friends say i am easy-going, good at listening, and like to have fun!

PHILOSOPHY

I let my stomach guide me to happiness and my legs guide me up mountains!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do my best to meet fellow CS and offer them a place to stay if i can! If not, i can always meet them for a drink or share my favorite local spots.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When i was living at my brother's house we hosted Jim and Zoe, a neat couple that was CSing across the US. We had a nice home cooked meal together and later went out for drinks. It was a great time, and i was glad we could help Zoe and Jim on their journey!

Interests

I'm the happiest outside, with the sky over me and my two feet under me. I love teaching because i can bring joy and knowledge to others, while keeping myself guessing. I try to spend my time eating, working out, and reading a good book. Traveling is also super fun! As is drinking local beer and seeing local spots!
