CURRENT MISSION

Love life. Love travel.

ABOUT ME

I'm a relaxed, adventurous, ambitious, and open-minded person. I bounce between working and traveling the world. Recent professions have included high school teacher, community college teacher, ESL teacher abroad and in the US, nanny, and restaurant manager. Recent countries to which I've traveled include Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, The Netherlands, and the UK. While I hope to keep travel at the forefront of my life, I'm starting an MA in TESOL in the fall of '12, so I may be getting serious about this career thing. We'll see... :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
