About Me

I'm 28, currently Native English Teacher, former Police Officer/Substitute Teacher, and currently moving to Ho Chi Minh to Teach. I've never used couchsurfing before but I'm always open to trying new things and I've heard a lot of positive things about CouchSurfing, and sometimes you stay with some really cool people/person that you vibe with, so that would be great because as it turns out, I'm a pretty cool person myself haha. In Miami where I worked, if I pulled you over, you were guaranteed to smile, even if you drove away with a ticket in your hand haha because behind that badge was a caring, compassionate, yet very humorous soul. If you spend any amount of time with me, I guarantee I'll make you smile, plus I'm still a kid at heart, so naturally I taught Preschool in Cambodia for almost a year and that, the children not the job, has changed my perspective on life, as well as me as a person/soul, just like Vietnam will do. So now it's time begin a new chapter of my life in Ho Chi Minh. If you ask, I will help you anyway, anywhere, anytime, however I can. Just ask....in English haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I heard couch searching is great way to meet people. Plus I know it's cheaper than most other options, at least until I figure out my working/housing situation haha but I have no problem helping with housework, cleaning, teaching, literally anything at all while I'm there. I'm pet friendly and I'm very laid back.
