CURRENT MISSION

to learn and to make a positive impact on people

ABOUT ME

Currently, I'm teaching English in Mons, Belgium through an American government program. I've been living in Belgium since September 2011.

I love to learn about new people, places, and cultures. Whenever I travel somewhere, I don't like to just sight-see. I appreciate the place more when I understand the culture and history. I also love to relax and have a good time, but I'm hardworking and organized when I need to be.

PHILOSOPHY

"I don't know who I am, but life is for learning." -Joni Mitchell

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CouchSurfing, but I've hosted and visited friends from other countries. I'm looking forward to expanding this experience through CouchSurfing!

Interests

I'm happiest when I'm having a great conversation, whether it's with my best friends or someone I just met. Other random things that make me happy: an interesting book or movie, trying new foods, learning new languages, music, dancing, nature, animals (especially dogs!)
