Middle school English teacher living in the COV. Laid back and easy to laugh off most of what life throws at me. When I'm not molding the youth of tomorrow, I enjoy riding my bikes to cool places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While, I've never couchsurfed before, I've hosted dozens of people. Everyone I have ever hosted has always been genuine and open. Hearing other people's stories, getting to know them, and help them during their travels continues to be an amazing experience...makes me anxious to get out into the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered CS through a friend and although I have not surfed on anyone's couch yet, I have hosted a couple of people.
