Love the outdoors, exploring new places, and meeting new people. I spent a couple of years in my twenties living out of a backpack and doing whatever sounded fun. I love anything food related! I worked as a personal chef for a family for awhile and love cooking. I'm a big fan of museums of all kinds: art, natural history, science, and especially odd little collections (the MUJAM museum in Mexico City was amazing!). I love learning and worked as an educator for 10 years. I legitimately took a weekend trip to NYC just to see a new whale exhibit at the AMNH.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to meet new people and hear about their adventures!
