Manuel and I met in Honduras where I had a 2 year contract to teach. I ended up staying for 11 years! Now we are starting a new chapter of life in the US.
I (Sarah) am from Pennsylvania . Manuel is Honduran. I taught in Honduras for 11 years and explored almost the whole country and a lot of Central America. We have a 6 year old mini-couch surfer and a 2 year old who still rides in the backpack.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We host, we surf, we are constantly amazed by this project. We truly believe in the benefit of this community and the trust that is fostered through these experiences.

Interests

I love books, cooking, exercise, outdoors stuff and I am also a yoga teacher. Manuel loves live music, having a few beers with friends, and riding his bike out in the country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How about 3 amazing things instead:
I accidentally climbed an active volcano in El Salvador. The town below it had been evacuated and there was boiling, mint-green water in the crater.
Manuel and I also ate lobster in an illegal Cuban restaurant (2 old ladies' living room).
In London a friend and I ended up drinking tea in a Kenyan's apartment while he told me the Kenyan creation myth. Then we played Dance Dance Revolution at the arcade.

Teach, Learn, Share

I need to learn more about plants, gardens, and converting cars to veggie bio-fuel. I always have lots of books to lend or trade whether traveling or at home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can help with Spanish language acquistion, cook Honduran tipico breakfasts with the proper food supplies, give advice on car problems, and give love to pets.
