I'm a middle school teacher living in Columbus, Ohio, taking full advantage of every summer off!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing helps keep the hope and faith of the goodness of mankind alive. What better way to get to know your fellow man by allowing a stranger into your life and being willing to share your home with them? And in return you get to experience a new place from a more intimate perspective rather than a tourist point of view. There's nothing better.

Interests

Vast and varying. Music, good bars, good food, good people. I like running, kayaking, hiking, keeping active, reading, trashy tv. Anything really!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy almost all music, but my main playlists are classic rock, indie/alternative, some country, some hip hop. I hate scary movies and rom coms, love action/adventure and comedy.
